NEMA 5-20P Power Cord FAQ

What is a NEMA 5-20 plug?

The NEMA 5-20 is a 125V, 20A grounded plug and outlet. It features a straight blade with one blade rotated 90 degrees, making it incompatible with standard 15A outlets. The 5-20R receptacle has a T-shaped neutral hole to accept both 5-15P and 5-20P plugs.

What voltage is a NEMA 5-20?

A NEMA 5-20R is a 125V, 20A receptacle or outlet.

How do I identify a 240V outlet?

A 240V outlet is larger, with two vertical side holes, an "L"-shaped hole on top, and a bottom half-circle hole. Newer 4-prong outlets add a ground wire. They are typically 4.5 inches high and wide.

What is the difference between NEMA 5-20 and 6-20?

A NEMA 5-20 is for 120V, 20A circuits, while a NEMA 6-20 is for 240V, 20A circuits. NEMA 6-20 outlets can only operate at 240V and cannot accept 120V plugs.

How do I know if an outlet is 20A?

20A outlets will be labeled as such, and the outlet will have a T-shaped neutral hole to accept both 5-15P and 5-20P plugs. 15A outlets have parallel slots.

Can I plug a NEMA 5-15P into a NEMA 5-20R?

Yes, the NEMA 5-15P plug is compatible with a NEMA 5-20R T-Slot outlet, allowing you to plug in either a 5-15P or 5-20P plug.

What is the difference between NEMA 5-15 and 5-20 plugs?

The NEMA 5-20P plug has the neutral blade rotated 90 degrees and shifted about 1/2 inch from the hot blade, compared to the standard 5-15P plug. This prevents plugging a 5-20P into a standard 5-15R outlet.

What is a NEMA power cord?

A NEMA power cord is a power cable with a NEMA connector plug, designed for AC mains electricity in North America. There are many NEMA power cord types with different NEMA connectors for various voltage and amperage ratings.
