Is it safe to have wire capacity exceed outlet capacity? - capacity exceeded, sorry [input stack size=5000].
I'm 10 son class, but can not find points of 20 amperes.

Capacity Exceeded, Sorry [input Stack Size=5000]. Is It Safe To Have Wire Capacity Exceed Outlet Capacity?

It makes no difference. Kcmil you can go nuts and wires throughout the house by 1000 if desired. The inspector would look really funny that you think (and probably very hard on the extraction of the electrical system after a few hours for copper), but as others have said, the security system in the switch, not the cord.
I assume the cable that you speak of is the thread of the House, we are not connected to the outputs. Most outlets are 15 amp outlets, although it may be a circuit of 20 amps. almost all devices that receive, in conjunction with a regular intake to less than 15 amps. All thirty of the output amplifier has a different configuration and less specialized, must be 220 volts. 10 Son-class works well with 20 branches amps, if not exceed, the switch 20 amps. So the short answer is that it is safe when done properly. If it is an extension cable, rather than "ROMEX" then it is really safe.
You can certainly use 10 AWG cable to an output of 20 amps. There is a code problem, not a safety issue. It is quite common to use 15 points of sale to the son of 12-gauge amp. The only downside of this is the additional cost of 10 Gauge son. The cable is much more efficient, you reduce a voltage drop and less heat in the wire less (but sufficient) wire sizes.
Some things to keep in mind - usually 20 AMP outlets are used for dedicated lines. An output of the circuit for a particular purpose. In this case, you must use a 20 amp circuit breaker, but the 10 gauge cable is still valid.
The device is in the circuit should not exceed a value of 20 A output current. If you need more than 20 amps, you need to vary the plug from the common camera cable and the corresponding output.
Finally, there is no need to invest in 20 Amp outlets, if you are a dedicated circuit wiring for a device that requires electrical power to 20 amps. If the wiring is only a few outlets for normal home use, you can 15 ampOutlets with 10 gauge son, make sure that your switch is rated for no more than 20 amps.
Normally, you can use 14 Gauge wire for 15 A and the cable section 12 to 20 amps. You can always to a great thread for all amps. It is to be completed. However, you can not use 14 gauge for a distance of 20 amps. Overheat and possibly melt the shield around the wire. So with 10 AWG wire 20 amps is fine. The circuit breaker tripping or a fuse may occur before a crisis. Theoretically, it would be safer than the 12-gauge wiring.
Depends on what gauge at the other end of the wire 10! His are all things related questions .. If you pull 20 amps, then blow .. Reguardless cable .. save (especially cable question, switches and sockets power if necessary). In which you can draw a lot of power 20 amps something goes wrong. (in the notation of the cable to melt the wire to cause, but merely overwiring,) happen.

Yes come to the problem when you get more energy production, which try to get. The only thing to do a higher gauge wire is less efficient in generating electricity from the socket. But as I said, if you have a device that prefer to draw with too much power and heat will try to tell you it is safe.
Man, you out there who are not electricians Please keep your lack of knowledge about yourself! The only effect of a thicker wire gauge you have, lights, etc., due to decreased resistance of the circuit. Even if you are 20, a receiver in a circuit protected AC A 20 / Breaker problem!
Ten section wire feed your house or apartment * * be sufficient to secure supplies for domestic use * * Normal Power and other secured. You also need "greater intensity of protection" in the electrical system housing. The modern science can fail * * the owner!
Switches and fuses have to protect a size in the wiring. Wiring can be evaluated, as well as to protect or safeguard measures. It should never be smaller than protection.
Is it safe to use, but you do not want a device that goes beyond what can resist the cable
I can not do that - do not pass code, at least not here in Michigan. 12.2 The wire for 20 amp outlets.
Breath, that this change
