thanks for the responses. my ee knowledge being nonexistent they were very informative. my takeaway is the 20 amp plug is decided by the device and its female ending, not the amp capacity. simple is good for me.
20 amp power cords vs 15 amp power cords
Forgive the basic lack of electronics here, but i need to put a separate power cord from my amp (100 watt pure class a) to a specially installed 20 amp line for this purpose. Most of the cords i see (including very expenseive ones) say on the plug that they are 15 amp. Does this matter at all? It seems I should be buying a wire that is rated for 20 amps if that is what the line is. (Power cords will be going to torus line conditioner and aforementioned class a amp)music will be nearfield moderate volume rock and jazz. thanks mike
