Thanks, I was just trying to distinguish for the OP the difference between a male plug that requires a dedicated outlet. You konw how they will have a prong turned side ways for a 120v . 20 amp dedicated. Which Speedy is right you can put that on a 15 amp breaker.
When I said I would need to copy two chapters of the NEC.
I was refering to Speedy when he said "not neccessarily."
The point I was making is that their are so many variations. Speedy is right we need the appliance info. before we or I should have elaboorated. Your first post may have been the most helpful.
However it does not look like the OP has been back, but maybe they will.
Thanks again. I will try to more specific in my answering.
I am also a active licensed electrical contractor and very much enjoy debating issues with othes in my field.
Great Forum!!
