Standard circuits are either 8A or 10A.

That's a little more power than a US 15A, or the same as a US 20A.

There is often 3 phase power to the home in Europe, however. That allows 415V phase to phase and also 3-phase synchronous motors.

Both type E and F plugs are rated for 16, and afaik that’s generally the rating in countries which use them.

I’m sure there are others but Switzerland is the only country I know of in Europe were plugs are limited to 10 and you have to hard-wire 16.

Most camping places in France/spain that do have cee or type e/f might limit to 6a/10a. Fyi. It’s mostly to limit power draw since you pay a flat fee.

My mistake extrapolating from the Swiss :)
