Some people try to get the most power from the outlets in their home or office, but they might only have a NEMA 5 15 plug and not know if it’ll work. The Youtube video “Why Some 5-15 Adapters Can Operate at a Higher Capacity” shows how they can be used to achieve the amp capacity you need.
Let’s find out more!
Normally, NEMA 5 15 plugs operate up to 15 amps or 125 volts. Sometimes, the connector on the other end of the adapter can go higher such as 20 or 30 amps. So, it’s important to know if you can use that plug or adapter to get more than 15 amps from a regular outlet. To understand that you’re going to need an extension cord with a power strip, but it should have a NEMA 5 15 end.
This product comes with a 12-gauge cord, which is designed for 20 amps. Therefore, that power strip can be used to get more amperage from an outlet in your house. You can use the NEMA 5 15 plug for that purpose because it’s made with the same high-quality material.
You can watch the rest of the video for the full details of NEMA 5 15 plugs.
