2. NEMA connector - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NEMA_connector

   Over time, electrical codes in the US and Canada began to require additional safety features in the basic NEMA 5-15R and 5-20R configurations to address specific electric shock hazard concerns. The safety features listed below are not mutually exclusive; for example, tamper-resistant GFCI receptacles are available. [35]

3. Residual-current device - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Residual-current_device

   A Leviton GFCI "Decora" socket in a North American kitchen. Local electrical code requires tamper-resistant socket in homes, and requires a GFCI for socket within 1 metre of a sink. The T-slot indicates this device is rated 20 A and can take either a NEMA 5-15 or a NEMA 5-20 plug, though the latter type is rare on household appliances.

   The Code gives rules for calculating circuit loading and maximum ampacity. Ground-fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protection is required on receptacles in wet locations and locations where there exists an easy path for fault current to travel to earth. This includes all receptacles intended to service kitchen counter surfaces, crawl spaces at ...

6. Tamperproofing - Wikipedia
