2005年10月7日 · Re: 20A GFCI circuit with 15A receptacles Peg, First the 15 amp receptacle is designed and intended for use on 20 amp circuits. Second, each receptacle on the duplex is rated for 15 amps. And third, if your appliance cords, fit in …

2015年7月24日 · I keep hearing about how a 15 amp GFCI has a 20 amp feed through, and have not been able to find any concrete information about this. I have been told that the P&S 1595 can be used on a 20 amp circuit such as a Kitchen and that the load for additional recepticals will be protected at 20 amps...

2017年4月26日 · But what 210.21(B) will tell you is that a 30 amp breaker cannot serve a 20 amp receptacle. But if you provide a separate overcurrent device set to 20 amps, such as was suggested by Tommy SEA, then you will be in compliance with code, and you can use #12 wires from the fuse to the receptacle.

2008年3月1日 · It just means you can use a 15 amp GFCI on a 20 amp circuit, and have 20 amps worth of real load on the load side of the 15 amp GFCI without blowing up the GFCI. The 15 amp rating on a GFCI essentially just is in regard to the face of the device. Otherwise, it's 20 amps worth of sturdy.

2014年5月8日 · 210 allows a 15 amp receptacle on a 20 amp circuit where two or more receptacles are installed on that circuit, but if you use a single receptacle on a individual 20 amp branch circuit then the receptacle must be rated 20 amps (210.21(B)(1), a single receptacle is one contact device on a single yoke, a duplex is two contact devices or two receptacles and thus …

2017年12月28日 · We wire a lot of new houses and the standard practice is to wire garages like this - one 15 amp circuit for the garage door opener, which is protected by accessible receptacle GFCI on an adjacent wall to protect it. Sometimes the garage lights are on the same circuit. The rest of the garage outlets are on a separate 20 amp circuit.

2017年8月25日 · Hi guys I'm new to this forum. Just asking this question because I can't find any 30a 120v gfci receptacles at Home Depot. What would happen if I used a 20a gfci for the time being until I order a 30a receptacle. This is a dedicated circuit that will have a load of 20amps at 120v. Thanks in...

2016年9月29日 · Here is the reason for the question. I did the (new construction) electrical work on a house in texas. It passed a fort worth tx inspection. The home owner had another inspector (i dont know who it was) check his house before the warranty ran out. The new inspector said that 20 amp gfci receptacles should have been used on the 20 amp circuits.

2023年8月13日 · A big justification for 15/20 amp 120 volt receptacles is the fact that it is pretty common to see missing grounding pins on plugs. I can't ever recall seeing a missing grounding pin on any other plug. Maybe 6-15 and 6-20 plugs that are almost the same thing as 5-15 and 5-20's but even those are almost never missing.

2019年5月4日 · OTR microwave - I usually run individual 20 amp circuit, though I'd bet you can get by having other loads on with it in many cases especially some lighting but those are simpler if on 15 amp circuit and 14 AWG conductors so those get avoided anyway. Refrigerator I have seldom ever put on individual circuit, in typical dwelling anyway.
