What happens if I plugged a 20amp unit..15amp outl

Yes Jea, this Krell Power amplifier requires specifically a 20 amp outlet like most bigger Krell Power amps.I was told that it will keep tripping the circuit so..just wanted to make sure, is this true?

I already have an electrician about to make the change for me, I was just curious if I did move later on and will need to do the same.....

Rapogee,

You will need a 20 amp branch circuit then. #12 awg wire minimum with a 20 amp breaker.

Just an added note if the breaker trips on occasion due to start-up inrush current of the Krell most electrical panel manufactures make breakers with a longer inrush current lag time.
Here is some info.

I've had my Krell(20 amp) plugged in to a 15amp outlet and circuit for 4 years and have never had it trip the breaker.

It's not just about tripping the breaker. With a big Krell, you need to ensure that input current is not constrained to get the best performance out of it, especially when driving difficult loads at higher volumes (I haved owned a FPB-600C driving Thiel CS5i's for 10 years).
