In older houses I often see the dryer set up with a 40 amp circuit. Any reason for this?
Just the other day I came across a 20 amp water heater (with #12 wires) on a 30 amp breaker.
Not to code, but if you ask me thats a none issue. Common practice in Canada.
:? I don't see how you can say protecting a 20 amp circuit with a 30 amp breaker is a non-issue. Don't we discuss putting the proper sized breaker on circuits all the time.
