iMac 27 inch (2020) 16Amp power cord
Hello,
I purchased a 27 inch iMac recently and was quite annoyed when I saw that they gave me a 16A power cord. No one seems to have a clear response to my query regarding the power cord.
I currently do not have access to a 16Amp power outlet. These exist only in the kitchen and in the bathrooms to run heavy duty appliances like refrigerators and geysers etc.
The electrician told me that I can draw a 16A power line from the kitchen and install a 16A power socket.
Apple executives tell me that I can just use a 16A to 6A converter (which I am currently doing), but I'm not sure if this is the safest way. I don't understand why they've issued a 16A cord. Is it because the computer draws a lot more power?
So do I get a 16A socket installed? Or would I be ok with just using a 16A-6A converter?
Can someone please tell me the right way of going about this?
Any help or info will be appreciated :)
Thanks.
