Paul MacLean Posted March 26, 2005 Report Share Posted March 26, 2005 Originally posted by inspectort Hey Don, I just noticed something, does the AHJ there only accept 20amp circuts for all branch circuts serving general lighting outlets and recepticles? Just curious why there are no 15amp circuts in the panel. I'm not Donald, but here in Austin I see both 15amp and 20amp lighting circuits. It's not a code thing. I presume some electricians just prefer to stick with 12ga wire and 20amp breakers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonTx Posted March 26, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2005 Troy, We do not have AHJ's in the counties here. Even in Houston, the AHJ is blind and deaf. I guess it's up to the sparky putting in the service panel as to what he uses. I see a lot of Kitchen and dining room circuits on 15 amp - 14 gauge wire also.
