Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Tamper-resistant receptacles are now required by the National Electrical Code (NEC) for almost all 15 or 20-amp, 125-V receptacles in houses. This is to prevent children from inserting foreign objects into the receptacle and potentially receiving a shock. Terminated, color coded and self-grounding are not mandatory requirements for receptacles in a house.
