1 Ampere equals 0.2 kWatt for 230VAC systems:

An eine 16A Schuko-Steckdose können max. 16 x 0.2 = 3.2 kW angeschlossen werden.
A 230VAC 16A power outlet can be loaded with 16 x 0.2 = 3.2 kW maximum.

An eine 16A CEE Steckdose rot (3 x 16A) können max. 3 x 16 x 0,2 = 9,6 kW angeschlossen werden.
A 230VAC/400VAC 16A power outlet CEE red (3 x 16A) can be loaded with 3 x 16 x 0,2 = 9,6 kW maximum.
