P=IV
I=13

But Q left a question mark, and I worked out the answer and it was the right answer and if I don't get a biscuit, I'll gob on your back. So there. Ner ner ne ner ner.

13 x 230 = 2990
13 x 240 = 3120
So About 3KW is a good answer

We now work on 230Volts but we are still actually on 240 volts

A lot of Europe is actually on 220 volts but now is also 230 like us.

So we are all on the same voltages that we were on before but magically we are all harmonised (Or Demonised LOL) at 230V, therefore we are all European. Good innit?

I think Italy and somewhere else were actually on 230V before anyway
