Most power strips are rated at 15A (or less)...

very, very few are rated at 20A. If it is a genuine 20A power strip, then it would have to be wired with 12AWG and have a NEMA 5-20 cord cap, which only fits in a NEMA 5-20 receptacle.

If you put a 20A breaker in a 15A power strip, then you are creating a serious safety issue.
