20amp IEC connector with a 15amp plug PC? ??


I m puzzle what is the difference between a PC with a 20amp IEC and one with 15amp IEC but same 15amp plug and drawing from the same circuit? Noticed most PC with 20amp IEC are sold with 15amp plug. Currently using a power amp which accepts only 20amp IEC. TQ you in advance

Audioblazer, Are you saying one piece of equipment draws less than 15 amps or the combined draw of everything in the system is less than 15 amps? Not all systems are created equal.

Rember that start up surges on some amplifiers can trip a 15amp breaker. I have known some that can trip a 20amp breaker depending on what else was running simultaneously.
