What is a 20 Amp circuit ?




I have ran 3 dedicated lines in my house for the stereo from the panel. I have 200 amp service in the house. Are these lines 20 amp?

I am no electrician , so can you tell me what constitutes a 20 amp line.

Thanks

"...unless it's the only outlet on the circuit -- then it needs to be 20 A."

Ha. Good one. Thx.

...oops...

...and which has a 20-amp outlet on its end. Otherwise it's a 15-amp circuit.
