duplex) wall receptacle.
A DEVICE is unit of an electrical system that carries or controls
electric energy as its principal function.
Components that distribute or control but do not consume electrical
energy are considered devices. Common examples of devices are
switches, circuit breakers, fuseholders, receptacles, attachment

electricity are also considered devices. Some examples of these
components include a switch with an internal pilot light, a GFCI
receptacle, and even a magnetic contractor.
An ATTACHMENT PLUG is a device that, by insertion into a receptacle,
establishes a connection between the conductors of the attached
flexible cord and the conductors connected permanently to the

We are going to make our money out of plastic Makes it harder to COPY .
WE have our own code and when the Bahamas where looking for a code to use they picked the Canadian one .
That was about 40 years ago .
Some things are different ,Like only one ground in the system Example take feed to an out building need to take ground also .
Example Ground Buss and Neutral Buss are separate through the system.
Stablok FP panels are used in Canada .
I guess they are different as we have no problems with them .
We only use 440 volts in the AUTO plants all other heavy industry is 600 volts .
