20 amp recepticles on 25 amp breaker
20 amp recepticles on 25 amp breaker
(OP)
I have a requirement to place plug-in 1.08 kW, (115v) hotplates throughout a resturant. The challenge is to avoid adding another electrical panel and more breakers I hoping to place two plug-in hotplates on there own single, 120v/20 amp receptacle with those two single recepticles connected on the same 25 amp breaker.
So the question is can a 20 amp receptacle be placed on a 25 amp overcurrent protected circuit?

Absolutely not... no more than you could use an undersized wire on such a circuit.
