A *small* "whole home" generator is about 14KW.  OK if you are
careful with your sequencing loads.  A normal home service is 24KW.

 A typical home in Spain (a flat) is typically limited to 3.45 KW. Mine is nominally limited to 2.3 Kw. Affluent or bigger homes could be 5.75KW.

The induction oven in my kitchen can apply 7.5 KW to the 2 front plates
The back burners are OFF then. It's a good idea not to leave the kitchen when thusly used. A large pot with noodle water can change to a volcano
in no time.  :-)
It is connected to the grid via 2 of the 3 phases of 240V. Dish washer,
hot water, washing machine.. are extra.
The house fuses are 3*50A @ 240V, not intended for replacement by customer. Nothing special here.
Now if one would switch from star to triangle config @ 400V ...
Car chargers might use that some day?
