Section 296-800-28010. Make sure all electrical equipment is used for its approved or listed purpose.

Definitions:	• Electrical outlets are places on an electric circuit where power is supplied to equipment through receptacles, sockets and outlets for attachment plugs.
	• Receptacles are outlets that accept a plug to supply electric power to equipment through a cord or cable.

You must:

• Make sure electrical outlets have an ampere rating that is not less than the electrical load to be served.

• Make sure the proper mating configuration exists when connecting the attachment plug to a receptacle.

• Make sure electrical outlets, cord connectors, attachment plugs and receptacles will not accept an attachment plug with a different voltage or current rating than that for which the device is intended.

Note:	A 20-ampere T-slot receptacle or cord connector may accept a 15-ampere attachment plug of the same voltage rating.
