Will the old wiring withstand 2 kW convector?
Is it possible to turn on a 2 kW convector in a house (built over 40 years ago) with old wiring?

Hello! If the wiring is old, problems may arise when turning on a 2 kW convector. It is necessary to determine which wire / cable laid the wiring in the house. If the cross-section of aluminum conductors is 1.5 mm.sq., then a load of 2 kW will be extremely permissible (with this cross-section, the maximum wire can withstand 2.2 kW). If the cross section is larger, it will stand, but on the condition that powerful consumers will no longer be connected to this wiring line.
Thank!
