    I think the guy was confused. If you use a 15amp outlet on a 20 amp circuit you will overheat the outlet if you draw 20 amps.

    Montana code doesn't allow 14 gauge wire in homes. All my outlets are 20 Amp. Never assume anything with electricity.

    I remember the first time I realized extensions cords weren't all the same. Overheat that turned into an electrical fire. Wish this was more common knowledge

    I think we are missing the obvious here folks!

    We do not need a bunch of long heavy power cords.

    ... Just plant plenty of Current Bushes .... in the right spots! ............

    Current bushes...Now that's a novel idea! You've got my vote.

    I just recently added a 20a circuit with a switch and GFI to my main panel wired in with 12/3 cu. The switch/outlet i grabbed off the shelf were marked for 15/20a service.

    somewhere about i have a chart with the wire size/amp load line loss for a given run
