Can I use a 600W microwave oven with a campsite’s electric hook-up?
In principle you can but the 600W specified on the microwave is the normal cooking power. The peak power it uses will be marked on the back of the appliance and may be 1kW (1,000W) or more. 1kW equates to a current draw of a little over 4A. This rating needs to be considered alongside any other appliances switched on to make sure you don’t go over the bollard’s limit.
