The actual capacity of the cable will depend on how it was installed but it will be at least 20 amps Re: 10amp or 15amp? 13Jul 28, 2017 5:23 pm yhfg27 my confusion is whether 15amp wire can be patched to 10amp outlet? It can and often is, but you'd want an electrician to confirm your specific case. |
