CyberTech Lighting Electrical Outlet & Receptacle

15-amp and 20-amp receptacles are the most common types of outlets in homes. 15-amp outlets have two vertical slots and a u-shaped grounding hole. 20-amp receptacles have a horizontal slot that branches off from its vertical slots. 20-amp outlets are better wired for appliances such as microwaves and must operate on a 20-amp circuit. 15-amp receptacles can operate on a 15-amp or 20-amp circuit.
