I understand that according to sec 210.21(B)(1), a single receptacle on a 20A breaker has to be 20A.
But according to sec 210.21(b)(3), if I have more than one 15A receptacle on a 20A breaker, it's ok.
What's the purpose of the rule? I can't see how a duplex 15A receptacle on a 20A circuit is safe, but a single isn't.
