Here in the US typical outlets are 120v 15A max. Sure thats also 1800 watts but for a margin of safety, typically, appliances won’t use anything over 1500 watts, or about twelve and a half amps.
It’s 12 amps even. It’s the 80% rule for continuous draw, defined as expected use to run for 3 hours or more. That’s why a space heater is 1500 watts, but a hairdryer is 1800.
