RE: Circuit breaker - Equipment protection fuse question.

I agree that A 20 amp breaker DOES NOT require 20 amp receptacles. There is no chance of overloading the branch. What the electrician said to me was that with 12ga wire and a 20 amp outlet, that your are still code with a 15amp breaker. Again, there is no chance of overloading the circuit.
