A minumum of two things mitigate that possibility , @booja30 : the fused plugtop effectively limiting the max draw locally to something considerably less than one half of the wiring can handle anyway; and what electrical engineers call 'diversity' which is a measure of the way in which practical loading is always rather less than the theoretical. 240Vac/32A is 7.7kW nominal, ==10hp in old money - it's a boatload of power to have on tap nominally for plug-in household appliances! *
- and I an not an EE, and this is not advice
* by which I also mean - if you've got a dedicated high-draw use, a cooker, electric shower- well yes those things are then usu. run on their own dedicated radials, nothing unusual there either. Likewise if you add requirements for say home workshop tools - machine tools , a welder, etc: radials and protection run to suit.
