OTOH, could be "very handy" in those countries which use US installation practice, but don't care too much for the "niceties" and it is common to use the NEMA 1-15P and 5-15P configurations for both 110-120 & 220-230V (I have heard that some parts of the Phillipines can be like that, although I obviously stand to be corrected), and where Agency logos are sometime less than totally legit ;-) .

Based only by appearance and that the assumption receptacle can accept NEMA 5-15P, an quick and dirty analysis of potentially compatible NEMA configured plugs is presented below. 1-15P (ungrounded, 125 V, 15 A; will fit) 2-15P (ungrounded, 250 V, 20 A; will fit) 2-20P (ungrounded, 250 V, 20 A; might fit) 5-15P (grounded, 125 V, 15 A; will fit) 5-20P (grounded, 125 V, 20 A; will fit) 6-15P (grounded, 250 V, 15 A; will fit) 6-20P (grounded, 250 V, 20 A; might fit)) Peter Tarver > -----Original Message----- > From: John Allen <mailto:[mailto:[email protected]]> [mailto:[email protected]] > Sent: Monday, May 06, 2013 10:11 > To: 'Peter Tarver'; <mailto:[email protected]> [email protected] > Subject: RE: UL warning regarding a wall receptacle > > Peter > Whilst the link to the UL press release works, the follow-on links to > the actual photos do not appear to. > > John Allen > W.London, UK. > > > -----Original Message----- > From: <mailto:[email protected]> [email protected] <mailto:[mailto:[email protected]]> [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Peter > Tarver > Sent: 06 May 2013 17:56 > To: <mailto:[email protected]> [email protected] > Subject: UL warning regarding a wall receptacle > > UL warning regarding a wall receptacle (socket outlet) > > <http://www.nema.org/News/Pages/UL-Warns-of-Potentially-> http://www.nema.org/News/Pages/UL-Warns-of-Potentially- > Hazardous-Receptacl > e.aspx > > I'm not aware if mixing of voltages is allowed in a duplex receptacle > (I suspect it is not, since wiring errors become more likely and > segregation of wiring and other issues come into play in the device > box). > > The marked manufacturer makes UL Listed outlets. > > > Regards, > > Peter L.
