1. It is very difficult to guess with no more details. You really need to check each appliance's requirements. Each appliance has a label with its max rating, either in Amps or Watts. Add them together and figure it out yourself. Example: 2 dryers, 500 W each = 1,000 W (assume they can both run at the same time) 2 GHDs ?? Electrical heater - this can be big... Lights, say 200W x 5 = 1,000 W Say the total is 3,000 W. Using a 110V supply, you need 28 Amps (Amps = Power/Voltage ) 32 Amps can support up to 3,500 Watts 48 Amps can support up to 5,280 W - you get the idea.
