PD 9180 needs 20 amp cord?
Hey all, With all this converter talk recently, I noticed that the prog. dyn. PD9180/9280 converter comes with a 20 amp cord and plug. Can't tell if the cord wire is 12awg but probably. Fine. So...

Most Power Converters larger than 60 amp come with a 20 amp plug. What this means is, they want that Power Converter on a dedicated 20 amp circuit, with the Romex wiring and RECEPTACLE to match 20 amp service. CUTTING the end voiding the warranty is because PD KNOWS, the only reason you would cut the end off is to use a 15 amp rated circuit. The Power Converter is built to utilize 20 amps of power, not 15 amps. The standard receptacle(15 amp) is not rated for the draw of the Power Converter. IMO, using a 15 amp rated plug will not cause any problems. Doug
