2014年9月8日 · Hi do any of you have a particular method of sticking probes into a tamper proof outlet. These ones on a job recently I could not insert my test probe. I tried all sorts of ways. I just wound up leaving the plug tester partially out and use the exposed prongs.

These receptacles have spring-loaded shutters that close off the contact openings, or slots, of the receptacles.

2017年2月23日 · After about 1 year, most plugs won't unlatch it anymore. Now I keep a 2 prong adapter plugged into it because it works for some reason. But anything with a ground pin is no longer grounded. And when these things quit working people are going to start using extension cords from the closest outlet instead of paying someone $100 to replace a $5 ...

2004年4月21日 · Re: GFCI vs Tamper Resistant Receptacles Yeah, we put them in public spaces also. You would be suprised how many parents will let their 3 year old run wild and unsupervised in waiting rooms and corridors. You would think some manufacturer would catch on and make a Tamper resistant GFCI receptacle. I believe the GFCI breakers are somewhat expensive.

2009年5月14日 · NEC [210.52] does not specify areas such as ceiling hatch accessed attics, underfloor crawl spaces, roof service maintenance, and kitchen locations. The cost difference between a standard GFCI and a Tamper resistant GFCI is appreciable. For the same roof service outlet with a Tamper-weather resistant device will cost an additional $10 each.

The 2017 code 406.12(4) reads that tamper resistant receptacles are required in Preschool and Elementary Education Facilities. The 2020 code 406.12(4) reads required in Preschool and Education Facilities. Does 2020 require tamper resistant in ALL education facilities from Preschool thru College thru Post-Grad. That is what it says. Tom

2023年3月2日 · Our Decora Edge Single Pole & 3-Way Switches and Tamper-Resistant 15-amp Outlet is easier-to-install with color-coded levers.

2009年8月6日 · Are there different grades of the tamper resistant receptacles? Maybe the bulk vs individually packaged are better? I haven't seen any 20 amp TR receptacles yet. Are there any out there? Are the TR GFCI receptacles also giving you problems? The reason I ask is I'm about to restock my truck with only TR receptacles and want to do it once.

2014年1月30日 · why we always put tamper resistant outlets Why: because the mfg of TR outlets run the NEC boards. Recently wired an 800 sq ft outbuilding behind the house for a relative for a woodshop. Table saw, drill press, snader, planer, etc....lots of power tools, kinda dumb to think there would be kids crawling around on the floor there with no supervision?
