i purchased a marinco iec connector from parts express for a power cable i intended to use with my wiremold power strip. it stated that the rating was 15A 125V. however, when the connector arrived, it clear has 10A 250V on it. doing the math, the 15/125 is capable of 1875 watts while the 10/250 is capable of 2500 watts. so should i be concerned in using this connector to power the power strip which powers my receiver, dvd, and a future amplifier? thanks in advance for any insight you can provide.kevin t

- Don't think Ohm's law applies here - lipmanl 11:07:15 02/26/07 (1)
- 10A @250V = 20A @125V for equal watts (Ohm's Law) - Ron Oehlert 18:47:31 02/24/07 (5)
