RE: Circuit breaker - Equipment protection fuse question.

Who were you writing this to? I know this stuff in my sleep...did I say a 20 amp breaker can be installed in a 15 amp. circuit? If I did it was a mistake. Fact is 20 amp receptacles are rare and seldom used. As far as I know there is no limit on the # of 15 amp outlets that can be installed on a 20 amp circuit. We are getting away from the original question.

cloudwalker,

I was responding to member Crazy Dave.

I know a little about this stuff as well. I worked in the commercial/industrial electrical trade for 40 plus years.

I correctly answered the OPs question long ago.
I have also answered questions asked of me by you and Dave.

For your info NEMA 5-20R 20 amp receptacles are not rare.

Best regards,
Jim
