[QUOTE="Kemper Watson, post: 99626, member: 31"] Re: Plugged Power Amps Into 30 Amp Circuit And Sparks Stared Flying How old were the amps? If they were newer you probably just blew the startup current limiter. The amps should be fine after replacing the parts. I had the same thing happen once on a mis labeled outlet.. Now I meter every outlet, no matter how many times I see it. @ Ryan: I wan't there so I'm not sure but it sounds like he plugged into an L6-30, which is two hot legs and a ground. The amps saw 250 volts and hopefully blew the in-rush limiters. [/QUOTE]
