The NEMA L5-20P is a 3 Wire 3 Blade grounded plug featuring three blades arranged in a circular pattern, rated up to 125V AC and 20 Amps. The NEMA L5-20P's blades are further separated than the NEMA L5-15P and is used in applications that require high amperage such as industrial/professional appliances. The locking feature prevents the plug from accidental disconnecting from the outlet, preventing power loss.
