Why is it OK to use a 50 A receptacle on a 40 A circuit? @HenryJackson My feeling is that there is no 40A plug/receptacle standard, and the idea is that all else being equal, the 40A breaker would trip if a device tried to draw 45A of current through this receptacle, then all things being equal, it was considered "ok". Just a guess, though |

How can I install a new bathroom GFCI receptacle? Are you trying to add an additional outlet in the bathroom, wired from an existing outlet, and making this additional outlet in the bathroom GFCI? Is the existing outlet also in the bathroom? It might make sense to replace the existing outlet in the bathroom with a GFCI outlet, and then protect the new outlet using the LOAD terminals on the GFCI. Short version: where is the existing outlet and what do you want to protect? |

How do I run a dock circuit and what size breaker will be needed? It doesn't sound like you need 220, 110V should be fine for your purposes as you've described them. |
