Consider a typical house circuit, rated for 15 amps, but most devices you plug in to a given socket will not draw anywhere near 15 amps, but they do need the 120 volts to operate as designed.
My brain just exploded. LOL! I need more caffeine.

I got the socket part. None of them fit anyways even if I did sort of marginally understand the electrical stuff. I see there is something on amazon so might go that route. I only got the vortech for power outages anyways and it seems to be working fine for that.
