used for high voltage requirements. These plugs
are usually rated upto 30A and 60V. The locking

that can be twisted, they remain connected even
while undertaking the toughest jobs at

heavy-duty equipment like welders, wherein the
supply voltage is 240 V. NEMA L6 connectors are
rated for 250 V. These L6 connectors do not offer
a neutral connection. Based on the phase, these
plugs are used for two-pole, three wire
hot-hot-ground circuits having a supply of of 240
or 208 V.

but were quite popular at some point of time in
the US for using with kitchen ranges and laundry
dryers. They fall into the 125/250 V
(hot-hot-neutral) category and were used in a way
which indirectly grounds the frame of the
appliance. NEMA 5-15P

household electronic items like microwaves, air
conditioners, refrigerators etc. These plugs come
in an array of shapes, widths, dimensions,
