    How would that work in the UK with the ring circuit? Won’t we just blow out everything else connected to that circuit.

      No. the devices on the circuit only pull as much electricity as they need, any unused back feed returns to the main panel/fusebox to be distributed to any other circuits currently using electricity. If there’s still any unused, it goes to the grid to be used.
