I have a tanning canopy that has a 20 amp male plug with the one blade at a 90 degree angle can I cut the plug and put on a standard three prong plug?
Can you change the plug? Yes. Should you change the plug? NO!!! The 20 Amp plug is just that a 20 amp plug. The plug you want to change to is a 15 amp plug. The ramifications are pretty easy to understand. The 20 amp load will overload the receptacle for sure, and likely will overload the branch wiring and circuit breaker if they were designed for 15 amps. This could cause at the least your home wiring to get brittle and eventually short out. It could also cause a circuit failure, leading up all the way up to a fire. My recommendation is to move the canopy to a 20 Amp plug or have a licensed electrician install the proper breaker, wiring and receptacle. See view discussion below.
