    That’s true, because you use a 110V based system you have less power available to the kettle. It’s still a lot faster than an electric stove though. Not faster than an induction stove, probably.

      We have a 2 phase, 120v or 240v. Standard wall outlets only have 1 phase at 120v and a 15amp limit.

        Residential service is a single split 240v phase off of a 480V 3-phase line, while something like an apartment is 2 phase 208Y, with a single phase is 120V.

          2 phase 208Y

          3 phase 208. But I imagine you know that, and just fat fingered the wrong key

            Ah, I guess I meant that you’re getting 2 of the 3 phases, which is 208V phase-to-phase, or 120V phase to neutral.

        Split phase; two phase is something else that’s not really used because it’s a massive pain in the ass compared to single or three phase
