If everyone is following the rules, you shouldn't need that. From the outlet,
you should be able to assume the wiring behind it. You could have a 15A outlet
with 20A wiring, but I wouldn't try to draw 16A from it. While the wiring
could take it, the outlet isn't rated for it.

Robert,
The wire mat have been 12 gauge but too long and your heavy load could have
dropped voltage at the outlet to approx 100V which turns a 1000W heater into a
600W appliance, hence the trip at 2400W at 4 heaters.

True. Also, once you've worked with solid #12 and #14 wire a few times,
you'll know by looking at it and/or bending it which size it is. Stranded,
it's a little harder to tell.
One
Keep in mind that there is nothing to prevent someone from replacing the
15 amp receptacle on a 15 amp circuit with a 20 amp receptacle. You can
still only draw 12 amps. The circuit capacity is what you care about,
not so much the style of receptacle.
The only method I am aware of to

It is true that 20 amp circuits typically have 15 amp receptacles
installed.
The difference is that 15 amp receptacles have two plain straight slots
(plus the round ground opening) and the 20 amp receptacle has a neutral
slot (right hand slot) with an additional horizontal slit added to

Bring an electric heater, iron, coffeepot, toaster, hair dryer, or
anything rated at 1000W or 1500W and plug them in one at a time for at
least 5 minutes after the second one...
A 15 amp circuit should do a

If you take two "commercial duty" receptacles apart, one rated 15a and the
other 20a,
% It's the same sham,scam that PG tried& failed, SCE must have more
political PUC pull. IMO let the Utility pay for their own EVSE installations
same as everyone else. Send your views to the CPUC (see below) no matter
where you are in CA. If SCE can do this, then PGE is next. This is going to

Paul,
There are a number of places in your home that are _required_ by the
national electrical code to have dedicated 20 amp circuits for the 120V
receptacles.
There are at a minimum five (5) 20 amp 120V receptacle circuits in a
modern house:

I have been thinking (dangerous I know)
Is there a way for an instrument (live ohmmeter / ammeter)
or an electronic circuit to recognize the gauge (and surmise
the amperage protection likely in place) ?
eg, measuring ohms from neutral to ground,
(for 120 circuits) or doing a millisecond high-load
Thanks, that looks like a good option. I don't suppose you have a link
to an online store that sells them? They have a dealer near me, that
I've left a voicemail with, but I was wondering how it compared price
wise with the $300 TBS meter.
Thanks,
Jay
