20amp IEC connector with a 15amp plug PC? ??

Zieman, "if equipment needs 20amps feed it that". This is my confusion. I do knw that a 20amp wall plug can accept a 15am or 20amp plug. However, if an equipment needs 20amp IEC like my CJ350, why does most 20amp power cord comes with a 15amp plug? " Worry abt the home AC circuit"? If the wall plug is 15amp isnt that the max draw by the amp? is that is so isnt a 20amp IEC redundant? Pardon my confusing tq

Jea48, CJ350 stock PC comes with a 15amp plug.
It doesnt make sense. As far as I understand it , shouldnt equipment with need a 20amp IEC comes with a 20amp plug which rightfully should be connected to a 20amp dedicated circuit with 20amp circuit breaker to maximise whatever current the equipment need?

The only logic I can think of is that most house wiring is basically 15amp circuit with 15amp circuit breaker, hence, the 15amp plug. Happy listening

I wonder why some of us install 20amp dedicated circuit when I dont think at any 1 time our equipment needs to draw more than 15amp ( read some where the most is around 12amp). Am I right or I got it wrong? tq

Don_s, I dont knw for sure whether any hifi set up will draw more than 15amp. From what I read most do not exceed 12amp. That is why I started this thread to get some education. I maybe wrong I suppose tq

Zieman, dont knw much abt current stuff.
Rex, I spoke to my dealer and its seems 20amp IEC is use simply because it provide better connection. I have a CJ preamp with 15amp IEC and it cant hold a transparent PLMM connector properly.Need to prop up the connector so that its stay properly connector. So based on that logic, my dealer and you make sense.Happy listening and merry Christmas
