The chart below visually illustrates the various NEMA plug and receptacle configurations.NEMA Power CordsJust like in all areas of electricity transfer, power cords come in various types to accommodate different voltage and amp requirements. Their main function is to carry current from a power source...
The NEMA standard uses an alphabetical approach to distinguish which is the plug and which is the receptacle. The letter P designates the plug and a R designates the receptacle. For example a 5-15P will plug into a 5-15R. NEMA Power Connectors 120VAC Power Connectors ReceptaclePlugPicture...
