Electrical Question - dumb one - but a good one

The wall receptacle is fine as is. Putting a 20 amp receptacle in the wall will change nothing current wise,but will give better grip on the prongs . Get a new chord that is 20 amp iec at the unit end. Only reto fit if your sure the cable is rated for it like Al said. Cheers

Gbart , in the home I had built the outlets in kitchens are all 20 amp by code . They do have a stiffer grip on the prongs in my experience. 20 amp outlets at least in my area and experience are a better grade than the standard 15 amp version. The ones I installed myself when finishing my basement were made by the same manufacturer as the 15 amp version in the rest of the home and they did provide a better grip. I am sust speaking from my experiences. I worked for 17 years winding transformers for Hammonds who at one time owned smith and stone who manufactured receptacles of all types and labelled with different company names so I have had first hand experience. Cheers

Gbart , just to clarify so you know why in my experience I made my statement. The company that Hammond owned that manufactered these receptacles in the 20 amp version regardless of grade were all manufactured identically . The residential versions and the hospital grades were actually the same except for the face colors of course as the hospital grade (orange) industrial (red) and the required ul/csa green triangle on the face. The audio grade having the differant metals and platings used which is subjective to manys opinions of the benefit of. I have not used the "audio grade " so I have no comment. I can only comment on the ones I used and know of and not all manufacturers. Some companies make only quality components others do make both higher and lesser qualities (tolerances) of the same product. Cheers.
