Quad panel outlet - can I do one circuit on this?


Can I do a 20 amp dedicated circuit to four outlets in a quad panel on the wall?

I guess that means one circuit breaker would be wired into 4 spots to plug something into.

I’ve never have seen an audio component with a 20 amp cord. Have you?

Yes. My Crown Studio Reference 1 Amp requires a 120 Volt, 30 amp dedicated circuit. See power cord below image 2:

Does your amp have a cord like this? 30 amps will run my hot tub!

No. See amp power cord below image 2 that’s the factory power cord my amp has.

If you had your choice between using 2 20 amp circuit breakers to power a Multi branch outlet configuration involving 2 duplexes, and a single 20 amp circuit breaker to power those same 2 duplexes, is there any benefit in having a second 20 amp circuit breaker involved? This assumes you don't need the additional power.

Because a multi branch configuration is not really 2 dedicated circuits, why not just use one dedicated Circuit breaker to power the two duplexes.  I am planning to remove one of the 20 amp circuit breakers and eliminate the multi branch configuration because I see no value in thie Second circuit breaker being used. Best to use it for a truly dedicated circuit elsewhere.

I do believe you can make a 30 A / 120 V piece of gear, but why?

At that point, running a 15 A / 220V circuit is preferable, with half the voltage drop over the same gauge. If that amp is switchable, at all, it should be run at 220V.
