Confused about an NEC standard
All the single breakers in the electrical panel in our new house are 20 amp. ALL of them. This panel is basically a sub-panel, though it is as big as the main (200 amps). It feeds primarily to bedrooms and bathrooms. I'm sure the outlets, ceiling fans, etc are rated for 15 amps. I thought every device on a 20 amp circuit had to be rated for 20 amps, but trying to read the Code it seems to say something along the lines of, "mmmm, not really." It's either ambiguous or so precise I get confused in the verbiage.
So what does the PPOT brain trust have to say about it?
