[QUOTE="Bill Garvin, post: 8324, member: 2865"] Hey there! I accidentally plugged a couple of power amps into a 30 amp circuit, and when I turned on 1 power amp, sparks started coming out of the power amp after which the power amp stopped working. I turned on the other power amp and same thing happened. I then noticed the extension cord for the power amps was plugged into one of the pig tails which was connected to a 30 amp circuit at the spider. I did a check on the voltage off the 30 amp circuit and it was showing 124 volts. Was plugging into a 30 amp circuit what fried the power amps? I had no issues with any of my other equipment blowing up on the 20 amp circuits which also were reading 124 volts. Thanks! [/QUOTE]
