[Elecraft] power requirements for a K3S, KPA500, KAT500, P3?

[Charlie T]

AND, if there's any sort of electrical fire and it is discovered a 20 A breaker was installed with 14Ga wire, you fire insurance becomes instantly "non-functus".
That's Latin for "You're screwed".

Yes.

Only if all the wiring on that breaker is #12 or larger.

Only if all the wiring on that breaker is #10.  These are electrical safety code requirements, which carry the force of law.

Yes

  No.
