I'm running two dedicated 20a circuits so need 20a outlets. After looking at Furutech, P&S, etc. I decided on Porter Power's cryo'ed Hubbels.I wish Oyaide made 20a receptacles.
Follow Ups:
The Oyaide receptacles are 15-amp rated due to their "face", as they will not accept a 20-amp wall plug (with the horizontal blade). However, they are capacity tested (by Oyaide) to nearly 30-amperes and 250 volts. Additionally, they have been installed on *many* dedicated 20-amp lines without a problem, and further have been field-tested in a few cases by commercial contractors for this very purpose, or they would not have been approved for use.If you think about it....what ampere rating are the AC wall plugs on your power cords, and what AC wall plugs do every cable manufacturer supply on their products (unless otherwise specified)? 15 amps.
Even where a power cord has a 20-amp IEC on the equipment end for heavy-wattage amps like Krell, or certain line conditioners that require such an IEC. And these very wall plugs are inserted into 20-amp rated receptacles (like Hubbell's, Furutech's and Wattgates) on 20-amp rated dedicated lines.
Hmmm......
Oh, I was answering the question from Tippy, who was using an API 116. The API 116 has a 20A connector on its chassis, but runs from a regular 15A wall outlet.But if you're running 20A lines, and need 20A outlets, there aren't as many choices, and I guess the Oyaides are out of the question.
Just opened up my 116 MK II last week. I found it interesting that the filter inside says 15A instead of 20A...Alan Hsu
