Hey Site 7000 … start with Merry Christmas … and to everyone grateful to be fortunate enough to be listening to music at the level we get to enjoy it !
That is a good point , Furutech actually do not make a receptacle “advertised” as 30 amps , but when I contacted them , they replied that it is only because no one asked … and at the time I bought them , Furutech only offered two with terminals that will easily except 8 guage wire … I had to work them a bit to except the 6 guage I used , and the terminals did torque down on the stranded THHN with a bit of resistance , but it worked out without breaking the terminals and holds very well ( I used Shucko receptacles ) . Note that 8 guage is rated for 30 amps and the terminals are designed up to 8 guage and easily handle that !
I used 6 guagae oxygen free THHN because I overdo everything … LOL , 8 Guage is plenty , But again I recommend the Shucko receptacles if your using wall receptacles instead of a terminal strip , because they are much better at supporting the weight of the power cord . With a verticle application or vertical power strip , it probably offers no advantage .
