Does the equipment documentation specify NEMA 6-15R or 6-20R?
P274 · ConnectorNEMA 6-15R receptacle≠
P276 · ConnectorNEMA 6-20R receptacle
How they differ
NEMA 6-15R receptacle Use the NEMA marking and exact device documentation; slot geometry alone is not an installation or interchangeability check.
NEMA 6-20R receptacle Confirm the NEMA designation and circuit documentation rather than treating a plausible slot match as approval to connect.
Then askDoes the equipment documentation specify NEMA 6-15R or 6-20R?
