20amp IEC connector with a 15amp plug PC? ??

I had it built for 240v... How much current (I know that is a big word for some of these forum pontificators) do you think a 5x200 amp will draw as it sees lower and lower impedances?

When playing multi-channel music or movie soundtracks, the real-world max current your amp will draw is between 5 and 8 amps at 240v. That's full-tilt, all channels active.

Rex, has it right and in the proper perspective. Even if one's amp is pulling 1200 watts, that is 10 amps current. At turn on or start-up the amp might 'pull' more amps to charge the capacitors, but then that is for a 'miili-second' and no cause for concern.

Microseconds concern me. Dynamics concern me. 800x5 @2ohm equals what for draw? I wish I had three phase! Any mathematicians or EEs ever wonder why some Levinsons, Halcros, should I go on(?), are ONLY available 240v 60hz? Sixth grade math anyone? Z.

Rex, I got a toughie for ya here. 8amps at 240v equals what at 120? Didn't this start with a question as to why mfgrs are putting 20A IECs on equipment? Ever see an amp with TWO 15A IECs? And instructions to utilize TWO different circuits? Z.

Zieman, dont knw much abt current stuff.
Rex, I spoke to my dealer and its seems 20amp IEC is use simply because it provide better connection. I have a CJ preamp with 15amp IEC and it cant hold a transparent PLMM connector properly.Need to prop up the connector so that its stay properly connector. So based on that logic, my dealer and you make sense.Happy listening and merry Christmas
