The electric blanket; that's different. That device will draw 10 amps or better
And yes, I am an electrician.
Old ones never used anywhere near 10A, either. Maybe Wet Coast was thinking it is like a space heater?
My twin bed electric blanket is listed on the controller as consuming 180W. That, of course, is a maximum, and the average power consumption rather lower (it soon starts to resemble a sauna on high).
