How they differ
NEMA L14-20P locking plug Verify L14-20P from its permanent NEMA identifier and exact equipment documentation rather than shell appearance.
NEMA L14-30P locking plug Read the L14-30P marking and exact equipment documentation before reasoning about a generator, transfer switch or other application.
Then askDoes the exact equipment require the L14-20P or L14-30P locking configuration?
