I'm not sure where you are located, but code here in Tennessee is 12AWG for 30A circuits. I've got two in my listening room, both terminated with standard 3-prong hospital-grade outlets. And before the change to OTLS and SETs, I ran ARC VT-150SEs off them with no problem. And I've got 2KVA Equi=Tech Balanced Powered Converters plugged into each of them now, again, no problem.
You learn something new everyday. Thanks for the info. I though that there was a national standard.
You would think so. But in the proud American tradition of fierce independence, Knox County, where I live, didn't have a resendential electrical code until 1970. And I've lived over the years in some of those pre-code houses. The wiring was a sight to behold. I think folks just experimented until they found something that made the light come on. In one house, previously owned by an engineer no less, I found one outlet (117VAC) with six wires attached. Never did find out where they all went. And a wall switch that turned off every outlet on an ouside wall along the whole front of the house (5 rooms). And folks think audiophiles are strange.
