So a user has to know what design decisions have been made so he can

The user will have to trust that the designer and installer had a
clue,

their cable or sockets.

But the users doesn't know the rules and may well put several high
demand loads on for days at a time, say heaters and dehumidifiers
after a flood as you appear to think no one would ever have a reason
to do so.

Not 9kW.




I have seen about 15kW used like that. No idea what they were plugged
into. 5 or 6 fan heaters and the windows open to get rid of the moist
air.

They were using a dehumidifier 3 hours ago.


They didn't have easy access to dehumidifiers 30 years ago. They did
have spurs with more than one socket on them though so they could have
been on a spur for all you know. That would have been fine though as it
was permitted in the regs.
