| commercial standard 3 prong outlet
I work at a school and in one of the 3 prong outlets (a standard plug) a prong was broke off from an extention cord and was protruding out from the socket. I have replaced residential outlets at home and new that as long as you didn't touch both wires you wouldn't get shocked. Needless to say I reached down and tried to pull the prong out of the socket and got a little shock and was puzzled. Is commerical wiring for a regular outlet that much different than a residential plug?
The prong that was sticking out was on the neutral side. |
