The National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) has assigned designations to the various configurations. The purpose of so many different types is to prevent the wrong combinations of electrical systems from being plugged together, thereby avoiding potentially dangerous conditions. If you have a NEMA code number for a device, use this table to help determine the device ratings.
