Can I plug two heaters (or even one 2400W / one 1200W) into a single wall socket? I know this end of the house (an extension) has capacity to run at least a 30A load, I just don't know how much I can draw from a double socket. I know each socket is rated 10A, but I don't know if that's per wall outlet or per socket.

Hi assuming it's on a 20a mcb and via 2.5mm tps, but what we don't know is length. Then we still are limited to 10a per faceplate, not socket, but 20a on an entire circuit.

Where does the 32a bit come from, unless there is 4mm or greater tps involved then 20a it will be.
