No argument - the UK ring system seems to be vastly superior over our US 15
and 20 amp circuits when it comes to delivering more actual AC power to
appliances.


I think the voltage in use probably has about as much relevance as the
wiring system - at twice the voltage, the same power will require half
the current anyway. Doubling the wire as well obviously increases the
capacity too (or, allows the same capacity with thinner wire - though
I'm not as convinced by that argument as some).
