sbcgroup1,

Can't you get a shorter moniker? (tic)

I had a 2 20 amp lines put in using proper wires and circuit breakers but kept the normal 15 amp recepticles for the reason that I did not want to use adapters. I just wanted a robust circuit for the amps. All protections are done at the line conditioners and surge protectors, most of which are rated up to 15 amps anyway. So, if not having 20 amp recepticles limit my current supply, I am ok with 15 amps. The main thing for me was to get separate lines without branching outlets to insure that I get the cleanest power I can get from Virginia Power.
