    As an example, the 5-15R is the common 125 V two-pole, three-wire receptacle rated for 15 A. The L5-15R, while sharing the same electrical rating, is a locking design that is not physically compatible with the straight-blade 5-15 design. The 5-30R has the same two-pole, three-wire configuration and 125 V rating, but is rated for 30 A.

    NBR 14136 defines two types of socket-outlets and plugs: one for 10 A, with a 4 mm (0.16 in) pin diameter, and another for 20 A, with a 4.8 mm (0.19 in) pin diameter. New apparatus has been sold with the new plug, so the tendency is the usage of the "Australian" plug to fade away.

    BS 546, "Two-pole and earthing-pin plugs, socket-outlets and socket-outlet adaptors for AC (50-60 Hz) circuits up to 250 V" describes four sizes of plug rated at 2 A, 5 A (Type D), 15 A (Type M) and 30 A. The plugs have three round pins arranged in a triangle, with the larger top pin being the earthing pin.

    IEC 60906-2 is based on the NEMA 5-15 and NEMA 5-20 plug and socket systems and was originally published in 1992. The object of this part of IEC 60906 is to provide a standard for a safe, compact and practical IEC 125 V system of plugs and socket-outlets that could be accepted by many countries as their national standard, now or in the near future.

    In both those instances the white wire should be identified as being hot, usually with black tape inside junction boxes. The neutral wire is identified by gray or white insulated wire, perhaps using stripes or markings. With lamp cord wire the ribbed wire is the neutral, and the smooth wire is the hot. NEC 2008 400.22(f) allows surface marking ...
