I realize that 20 amp receptacles would work fine on a 15 amp dedicated line ( with 15 amp components) but I can't see how this meets code. Obviously someone ( not knowing better ) could plug in a 20 amp cord and overload the line. I bring this up because while looking for a new Furutech receptacle I noticed that only 20 amp versions are often offered for sale. It's obviously easier to only produce and stock on version but it raises the problem listed above. I'm not concerned for myself but am sensitive to code violations. Am I missing something here/ |
