So what's the difference between a 15 A receptacle and a 20 A receptacle? I know the 20 A will require a 20 A breaker and 12 ga wire minimum and that you can put 15 A recepts on a 20 A circuit, but what's the design/construction difference between the two?
More contact area?
Better blade retention?
More cycles?
Where might I find some documentation of the different requirements?
NEMA doc?
Thanks.
