The 240 volt wall outlets are currently not being used for any equipment in the system. In the past they have powered several 240 volt amplifiers.
I'll make another attempt at describing the set up and breakers.
One of the two large (interior) main panels has a 50 amp breaker which supplies the (third) 240 volt sub panel. This 240 Volt panel currently supports only two outlets at the amplifier side of my system.
For only these two circuits, I choose the Hubbell twist-lock 30 Amp male and female, (unplated and cryo treated), which cannot accept 15 or 20 amp (120 Volt) household plugs. This eliminates the possibly of frying 120 Volt equipment.
The 240 volt sub panel has two additional 10 amp breakers, one for each of the available 240 volt wall outlets. All of these panels are Square D brand, commercial grade with copper bar and bolt in type breakers. The electrician used a torque wrench to install the breakers as specified.
If I did not make it clear this time, the VTL's have four separate breakers, one for each amp, and each rated at 20 amps at 120 Volts.
And yes, the two stage turn-on pair of VTL 750's still occasionally trip the breaker at start up. Perhaps I'll look into the longer lag time breakers Jim mentions. That could be valuable since these amps have such huge power supplies and large storage caps.
