Sure is.  And most of the time, all you have to do is change the plug.
A "heavy" configuration might be different, but our rather "light"
4D/60T is perfectly happy on a 15A circuit.  We measured the current
drain; it's nowhere near 15A.  Harsh words were said about SGI.

Yes, 20A circuits are a hassle.
