I know I’m not the only one here that has seen their Power Guard lights come on with some regularity. :naughty:

P20 also has option on back to go 20 amp power cord connection and full 20 amp connect.
Tons of current capacity.

I believe the P20 will only put out 1200VA unless you are using a 20 amp circuit. So if not using a dedicated 20 amp circuit with the P20, you may as well be using a P12.

1500VA - 15 Amp line / 2000VA - 20 Amp line

Getting a full 2000VA out of a P20 requires a high-current (20A) circuit. The P20 has two IEC connections on the back: one fits a standard IEC C14 cable, the other an IEC C19 connector. Via standard 15A service, the P20 is limited to 1200VA—same as the P12.

I suggest referring to the manual;

Page 16 / US - 1500 VA w/15A supply

I own 4 P20’s and know them very well.

P12 per the manual; Page 16

Last time I quote Jim Austin in Stereophile...lol.

Thanks for clarifying.
