[QUOTE="Kemper Watson, post: 99664, member: 31"] Re: Plugged Power Amps Into 30 Amp Circuit And Sparks Stared Flying What happened in my instance was an electrician had wired an L5-30 receptical as you would an L6-30. I had no idea. It was also PL 380. There was a loud pop, some smoke, and the amp went off. The in-rush device looks like the MOV's in power strips, right behind the switch. Replaced that and the amp was fine..Been three years ago Edit: It's not that you plugged into a 30 amp circuit. I have a cheater (dryer) plug broken down into a four gang Edison box and use it often.
