I've been trying to explain NEC 2008 210.21(B)(1), (2). What's a good way to explain the reason.
I told this guy he had to change his 'single' dedicated 15 amp receptacle to a 20 amp receptacle rating because its a code violation to put a 'single (not duplex) 15 amp on a 20 amp branch circuit.
But if there were at least 2, 15 amp receptacles (duplex or more) he would be ok. He says this doesn't make any sense. I agree with his logic, but the Code says what it says, What's a good way to explain this 'unique' situation in the code?? I wonder if the Handbook explains it better.
