NEMA 5-20P to 5-20R FAQ
Can a 5-15P plug be plugged into a 5-20R outlet?
Yes, the NEMA 5-20R receptacle is designed to accept both the NEMA 5-15P and the NEMA 5-20P plugs. The T-shaped neutral hole on the 5-20R allows it to accommodate the different orientations of the neutral blades on these two plug types, making it a versatile option.
What is the difference between NEMA 5-20R and 5-20P?
The NEMA 5-20P is a 20 Amp plug used for applications that require higher power draw, such as large refrigerators, space heaters, and kitchen mixers. The NEMA 5-20R is a 20 Amp receptacle with a T-slot design that allows it to accept both 5-15P (15 Amp) and 5-20P (20 Amp) plugs, providing greater flexibility.
What is a NEMA 5-20P used for?
The NEMA 5-20P is a 3-wire grounded plug rated for up to 125V AC and 20 Amps. It is commonly used for applications that require higher power draw, such as large refrigerators, space heaters, large kitchen mixers, and other high-wattage devices.
What is the difference between L5-30P and L5-20R?
The L5-30R is a 30 Amp receptacle, while the L5-20P is a 20 Amp plug. It is safe to plug a 20 Amp load (L5-20P) into a 30 Amp circuit (L5-30R) as it is within the design capacity. However, plugging a 30 Amp load (L5-30P) into a 20 Amp receptacle (L5-20R) is not recommended as it would exceed the amperage rating.
Can I plug a 15 Amp plug into a 20 Amp outlet?
Yes, it is generally safe to plug a 15 Amp device into a 20 Amp outlet, as long as the outlet is not the only single receptacle on that circuit. The 20 Amp outlet is designed to accommodate both 15 Amp and 20 Amp plugs, but you should not exceed the amperage rating of the circuit.
Do I need a 20 Amp outlet on a 20 Amp circuit?
If there is only a single receptacle on a dedicated 20 Amp circuit, you must use a 20 Amp receptacle. However, if there are multiple receptacles on the same circuit, it is generally acceptable to use 15 Amp receptacles, as it is unlikely that all devices will be running at maximum capacity simultaneously.
