@KingTut Just as an FYI: If you look at a receptacle built for a 20A circuit (in America), you’ll see that it’s just like a 15A receptacle, except that it has an extra tab hole for the plug, perpendicular to the left tab. Devices that will ONLY run on a 20A circuit (because they draw more than 15 amps) will have a plug that has that tab. This way, you cannot plug a 20A rated device into a 15A circuit. But going the other way around is allowed…you’ll see that 20A receptacles have provision to receive a 15A plug (the two straight lines) making it OK to plug a device rated under 15A to be plugged into a 20A circuit.
