    Space heater 1500W, PC 500W, 3 laptops 360W, 2 monitors 100W = 2460W

    With our superior european 230V outlets you can in fact easily plug all that into one power bar :D

      We have 220V here too, just not a lot of receptacles or options on power strips :)

      I have a 220v 50A in my garage, clothes dryer and Oven.

          Yup. 50A for level 3 chargers and welders. Oven might be 30, but i know the garage is a 50a circuit.

        I don’t know enough about electricity. Electrician told me I have 3 phase 400v and it wasn’t common. Not sure what that means or what benefit it gives me.

          It just means that you can run industrial gear; maybe was owned by a keen potter previously. Big kilns need 3 phase power. No it isn’t common for domestic, but I have a few friends with big shed that have 3 phase power for machining tools.

          Depending on what capacity the supply has; e.g. if you have a smallish 80A supply you can run a a good sized CNC mill in you shed.

          Three phase is useful for industrial motors or if you need more than 200A service. If I wanted to add another car charger in my garage and use them at the same time, they would have had to bring in another phase.
