Lol any outlet can be overloaded, its the breaker that will protect it.
I hate extension cords, and when I recently rewired, I put in a lot more outlets than minimum requirements. They are all...

Of course it wasn't meant as 100% blanket statement. But the number of 15A circuit breakers being sold is probably a quarter of what it was in the 70s and 80s. That statistic was pulled from a...

Depends on the builder and electrician, I've seen cheaper houses wired with 12 gauge minimum, and expensive mansions wired with 14 gauge. The cost difference isnt huge, but some builders pinch...

The plug shape is what determines the most current an item can pull. No appliance with a regular plug can pull more than 15A.
If they need 20A, they will have a different plug and require a...

There is no downside to uprating your wiring, except the few bucks extra for the wire. At that length, getting larger wire is a no-brainer and will help prevent current losses due to distance.

Plug two 15 amp appliances in and it trips the breaker. Plugs two 10 amp appliances in and everything is fine because 15A outlets have a 20A internal capacity.
The 15A limitation is simply the...

Again the argument of 15 amp appliances is irrelevant when you can plug more than 1 appliances in the same outlet. Don't even get me started on extension cords. FIRE HAZARD

Rofl this is so ignorant!
You can install a lower-amp outlet onto higher amp wiring, because the plug shape is what determines the max amps the appliance can pull!!
Also, a 20 amp breaker will...

They require 20 amp circuits for kitchens, but not 20 amp outlets, unless you have different local rules.
There are really no common 20A kitchen appliances, they just want 20A ccircuits so you can...

Assuming the compressor is 16 or more amps, the plug simply doesn't fit into a 15A receptacle. If the contractor hacked off the plug and put a standard 5-15 on there, then it simply trips the 15A...

WTF?
What are you talking about?
New code requires ALL outlets to be tamper-proof. How does "kitchen" have anything to do with tamper-proof outlets? Are you high?

This post was entirely unhelpful.
Why post false information?
You need to google the difference between a circuit breaker and an outlet!
