Wire it right
Power supplied by the meter is 9.2 kVA on an average.
Majority homes have 230 volts (V) with an intensity of not more than 40 amperes (A). Therefore the maximum capacity is 230 V x 4 A= 9200 VA (volt-amperes) or 9.2 kVA
This capacity can run a maximum power of 9200 Watts. As you never use all electrical appliances at once, you can use single core multi-strand cable.
