4 15 amp outlets on a 20 amp circuit.
Is that a limit of 12 amps for the whole circuit? Cause I am not sure if it's the prong outlets or the terminals that are limited. Obviously the prong outlets are 12 amp max. But what about the screws for hot and nuetral. Would those be 16 amp max but the outlet prongs just be 12.
Not sure if I'm explaining correctly. But the current passes thru 3 outlets to get to the forth. Question is regarding the outlets max amps limitd only for what plugs in or current that passes th terminals tomget to othr outlets. If so it's kinda dumb to have 20 amp breaker and 15 amp outlets.
Be real nice to know for sure the max amps of the outlet are only for what plugs in and max amps of what current bypasses is higher.
