The GFCI has the typical "test" and "reset" buttons, but no plug-in outlets. A 12-volt system is safer, though not foolproof, as it is ultimately connected to the 120/240 volt power mains. Most electrocutions come from incorrectly grounded or bonded lights. This can send electric current through a pool light even if it is not turned on.

The 20 A plug has a blade rotated 90° (opposite blade from what would be the "line" blade on a 2-15 or 5-15 plug. This prevents accidental insertion of plugs into outlets that use different voltages), and the 6-20R receptacle has a T-shaped hole to accept both 6-15P and 6-20P plugs (similar to the 5-20R receptacle accepting 5-15P and 5-20P plugs).
Maybe we all watched a little too much This Is Us and are still mourning the loss of Jack Pearson, or maybe a kitchen mishap as a child has left us wary of slow cookers. Whatever the case may be ...
The normal technical term for an AC power socket is socket-outlet, [6] but in non-technical common use a number of other terms are used. The general term is socket, but there are numerous common alternatives, including power point, [7] plug socket, [8] wall socket, [9] and wall plug. [10]
