In an attempted to trip our 32 amp circuit braker I would have

(5 x 2kW / 240V) ~ 42A, a typical type B 32 amp breaker will supply
north of 45 amps for at least 2.7 hours, possibly for "ever".

That's what I wasn't sure about we had them on for about 2 hours then a student reported that his soldering station had just switched off and wouldn't come back on again. So know I know how far I can push it ;-)

We had another 7 1.5KW radiators delievered yesterday.
