I am a journeyman, certified ET, and have been a electronics technician for 30 years. (JCET for 20 years)

The only problem I see with your 'unscientific' reasoning is this: Power consumption is measured in watts (P=IE), and when we compare house power (200a x 120v = 24,000w) to the available power of this circuit's configuration (1551a x 2.64v = 4095w) ...

Well, the numbers speak for themselves ... The house current is far more 'powerful' from a power 'consumption' perspective ... multiply this by 8 separate house with separate service panels, and we can see that; At 192,000 watts, there is an overwhelming power difference ...

Still .... quite interesting ... Thanks for the link ...
