Heard my name. Oh' was I supposted to be watching this? Sorry I have not patched anything in at least 7 years so I would tend to leave advice in it up to those that know more than I do. After the first couple of pages, I realized it was in really good hands and stopped reading the half English, half Greek.
By the way, I don't know if it's just me being grumpy (by the way, I'm not that old and I did like rock angel's
book drawing) but posted photos and avatars annoy me if not on equipment. Don't know what it is, perhaps just the black white and grey of the forum, or it's proportions, but for me artistically speaking, when I see a full color E-photo in a submission it sends my eyes into
shock. Like what's this world coming to and why is my
Cannon Rebel college graduation present now useless? Anyway, a note to Dave. If you are going to allow full size and full color photos, perhaps a change in the text/background would be in order to frame the picture better. Besides kids in plad skirts without an explenation of what's going on in the photo belongs in another section of the forum.
Still, it is neat to see photos posted in the forum, Kudos to the poster.
But back to the question I stumbled upon by accident as it were because I was not following this section.
Ah' after two read throughs on the
plug I know what you talk about with the slanted prongs. How about a
Nema 7-15R or 7-15P, which would be a 277v/15amp
plug. Otherwise anything in the 7 series followed by the amperage up to 50 amp/277v. Perhaps I should bring home a extra
Leviton and Hubble catalog for questions like this. Think I even have a fresh poster, perhaps I should frame it with white on black. There is also the 10 series which is 125/250v starting as far as I can tell at 20 amp and going to 30 amp. This is what the Backstage Handbook lists at least. Were I at work I would have a complete
Nema chart much less slide rules for
plug choosing to look at.
I'll have to look in the morning for anything 240v/10 amp. I doubt I'll find it because it's Euro
Voltage not ours which does 250v/15 amp for it's norm on that type of
power source.
Extended
ground pin is the norm for all plugs, after that there might be plugs similar in shape and size but I doubt they will be compatable, mixing voltages/frequencies between types of
plug is usually a bad idea thus the differences in dia. and
layout.
Might be similar but the dia. would at least hopefully be different. Our hot and High
leg for 120/240v combined on a delta
system, or 240v legs on a 240/480 delta
system would not be good to be mixing with your plugs and equipment on a 50hz 220/240v
system. Or would it work on a
leg from a 240/480 delta
line? Just a question of where you are tapping the
neutral from I guess. I dont' have much training or experience with the other types of
power sources. Don't see them used much here. The factor might be in the frequency also, a higher frequency might or might not burn up your electronics. I have seen postings about frequency differences go both ways.
