Voltage to residential main electrical service panels in the United States is 240V. Major appliances run on 240V circuits.
So when you install a 400A panel in the US, it's 400A*240V which is 96,000W.

- throwawayacc3 4y agoThat is incorrect. The EU/UK are on 230V at 50Hz at residential service entry.
- kuschku 4y agoI'm not sure where in EU you live, but every instant water heater, stove, and many semi-professional workshop devices require 380V. At least in Germany, 380V is standard for such devices and available in every household.

One thing I keep learning about the EU is ... do not generalize using Germany as the baseline. There are many areas where Germany is the odd one out, not the standard.
