Outlets High on the Wall

Does residential have limits on numbers of outlets on a circuit? I thought that it didn't. At any rate, those are good numbers to keep in mind. Puckdropper There isn't a code for it, but electricians will tell you to keep it around those numbers. A rule of thumb is to assign a maximum draw of 1.5 amps to each receptacle. 20/1.5 = 13.3 15/1.5 = 10 But they lower those numbers to allow start up on accessories that may have motors or high peak start ups. |
