That is the standard size. They generally have a 22-23a heating coil

We tend to wash 5kg of washing, then dry it for about an hour and a bit. I guess your dryers are faster. Why the hurry?

We have **** to do ;-)
A dryer cycle for a full load is about 45 minutes but it has a sensor
that adjusts as the load gets dry and may run longer or shorter,
depending on how it is doing

But you don't need to wait for it. I assume you have more than one set of clothes? It wouldn't matter if it took all day to dry!

I suppose, if you only do one load a day but I think they try to make
the wash and dry cycle as close to the same time as possible. People
with lots of kids may be doing several loads a day and it is easiest
if you make fewer trips to the laundry.

Even with say 4 kids, you don't need to wash more than once a day.

An elderly British gentleman of 83 arrived in Paris by plane. At the French
customs desk he took a few minutes to locate his passport in his carry-on
bag. 'You have been to France before, Monsieur?' the customs officer asked
sarcastically.
The elderly gentleman admitted he had been to France previously.
'Then you should know enough to 'ave your passport ready,' the customs
officer said. The elderly gentleman replied, 'The last time I was here, I
didn't have to show it.'
'Impossible! The British always have to show their passports on arrival in
France !'
The Man gave the Frenchman a long hard look. Then he quietly explained;
'Well, when I came ashore on the Beach on D-Day in 1944, I couldn't find any
****ing Frenchmen to show it to...!!
