The receptacle was rated for 30 amps also.

I agree with you Tony. I ran a new 240 VAC circuit for my Alpha which
specifies 20A. I used 10 AWG for the run to ensure least voltage drop over
the 100 foot path from the mains panel and put it on a 30A breaker. I think
the difference in cost from 14 AWG wire and 20A breaker was less than $5.
This was back in 1995, so the cost difference is likely a bit higher now
with increased cost of copper.
OK, so you ran a #10 wire and put a 30 amp breaker on it and you plugged
your Aplha into that circuit. What rating was the recepticle you install on
the #10 wire with the 30A breaker?
