In residences it is indeed uncommon to see the "cross-blade" 20A outlet (NEMA 5-20), it is common to see the two straight blades of a NEMA 5-15 even if wired from a 20A circuit. That is how it is in my home. Walk into a commercial building (checking the kitchen and the cubicles at work) it is still common to see the NEMA 5-15 but occasionally there will be an outlet that allows either 5-15 or 5-20 plug.

Most of the regular outlets have 15A breakers. The one for the shop that I thought was 30A is 20A. The patio has a 30A breaker. Appliances have 20A, 30A, or 50A breakers as necessary. I know I've got unconnected wire going to an empty box ready for at least a 30A circuit at the outside corner where I'll be plugging in the EV...I had an electrician string that when he was doing some other work and before the attic insulation was blown in.... b& -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
