Which NEMA plug is that?
A visual guide to common US NEMA straight-blade and twist-lock configurations — see the face, the volts and amps, and where each one shows up.
Educational reference only. Electrical work can be fatal — de-energize and verify, follow the NEC and local code, and use a licensed electrician. Receptacle ratings, breaker sizing, and wire gauge must match the circuit; never adapt a plug to a higher-rated outlet.
Plug faces are simplified, not-to-scale diagrams for identification only. NEMA configurations, ratings, and blade geometry are defined by NEMA WD 6 and enforced via the NEC and your AHJ — always confirm the printed rating on the device and the circuit it serves. Not a substitute for training or the NEC.
