It's not horribly uncommon to see 20A rated breakers connected to standard 3 prong sockets and people to have gear with these connectors. Interesting sidenote,

It's not horribly uncommon to see 20A rated breakers connected to standard 3 prong sockets and people to have gear with these connectors.
Interesting sidenote, I can tell you at least one NFL and two college football stadiums require these cables to use any broadcasting or recording equipment on the sidelines. And countless venues for live music, usually ones wired before the millennium.
- bleepblorp 6y agoUnless the NEC has changed recently, it's legal in the US to use 20A breakers (with appropriate wiring e.g. 12ga or larger) to supply 15amp receptacles. I don't know why the NEC allows this given that the practice is banned in Canada despite identical circuit breakers, wiring, receptacles, and electrical devices being used in both countries.
