[QUOTE="Silas Pradetto, post: 25408, member: 34"] Re: Cable and Recepticle Ratings Provided the L14-20 is appropriately current limited with a two-pole 20 amp breaker. Alternatively, you could use some pushbutton panel-mount breakers in a breakout quad box, but you have to size the wire feeding that appropriately for the circuit. So, if you're looking at feeding some Edisons with a 50-amp circuit, you're going to have to feed your quad with 6 gauge or larger, and then use breakers to get your 20 or 15 amp limit. This could prove to be extremely expensive and unnecessary compared to just changing the feeding breaker... [/QUOTE]
