What is difference between 5 amp and 15 amp plug points?
Current carrying capacity is different.
Can you change a 50 amp receptacle to a 15 amp receptacle?
Yes as long as you change the 50 amp breaker to a 15 amp breaker. You will be hard pressed to get the 50 amp #6 wire under the terminals of the 15 amp receptacle.
What is a 15 amp electrical outlet?
A #14 copper wire rated at 15 amps is the minimum size wire for a 15 amp receptacle.
How do you replace a 15 amp circuit to a 25 amp circuit?
You have to rewire the circuit completely with 10 AWG wire and replace all outlets and switches with devices rated at 25 Amps. Note 25 Amp breaker is an unusual size. 10 AWG will go up to 30 amps, and that would be the way to go.
What can you operate on 120 volts at 30 amps?
Yes, if you are using AWG # 10 wire. If you are using AWG # 12 then the answer is no you must use a 20 amp breaker. On AWG #14 wire you must use a 15 amp breaker.
