Thanks, I corrected the typo.

I you have multiple 20A receptacles on a single circuit, they must be protected by a 20A breaker. [2008 NEC 210.21(B)(3)]Ingineer said:Yes, unless you have multiple 20A outlets on the branch, you must stick to a 20A breaker limit.

We advise customers to run heavier wire, such as #8 or #10, so they can easily upgrade the feed in the future if the like. The extra cost of the wire is negligible, and usually the labor to pull the wire is the bulk of the cost. (of course DIY is free)
