2. NEMA connector - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NEMA_connector

   These sockets and plugs are four prong (see receptacle chart above) grounding devices (hot–hot–neutral–ground) available in ratings from 15 to 60 A. The voltage rating is 250 V. Of the straight-blade NEMA 14 devices, only 14-50 and 14-30 are in common use and either may be used for home charging of electric vehicles .

3. Ground and neutral - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ground_and_neutral

   A polarized plug can be used to maintain the identity of the neutral conductor into the appliance but neutral is never used as a chassis/case ground. The small cords to lamps, etc., often have one or more molded ridges or embedded strings to identify the neutral conductor, or may be identified by colour.

4. Three-prong adaptor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-prong_adaptor

   The ground tab is designed to be attached to the outlet faceplate screw, which is supposed to be connected to the building electrical ground. A cheater plug, AC ground lifter or three-prong/two-prong adapter is an adapter that allows a NEMA 5-15P grounding-type plug (three prongs) to connect to a NEMA 1-15R non-grounding receptacle (two slots).

5. Industrial and multiphase power plugs and sockets - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Industrial_and_multiphase...

   Higher current plugs have more lugs to prevent them from being inserted into a lower current socket outlet, while still allowing them to be inserted into a socket outlet of the same size group rated for a higher current. For example, a 32 A 4-pin plug without neutral can plug into a 50 A 5-pin socket with neutral available.

6. IEC 60309 - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEC_60309

   Three-phase electric motors do not need the neutral wire to function, so that there is also a red four pin variant (3 phases and earth) of the IEC 60309 plugs for three phase power. The two styles are not intermatable, to prevent a potential floating neutral.

7. Camlock (electrical) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camlock_(electrical)

   The National Electric Code (NEC) only specifies colors for ground and neutral: Green for the equipment grounding (safety) conductor (NEC Article 250.119), and white or grey for the neutral (grounded) conductor (NEC Article 200.6). These colors may not be used for any other purpose, nor may their purpose use a different color.
