Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The NEMA designation for a 15 amp, 125 volt receptacle is 5-15R. The "5" indicates the amperage rating and the "-15" indicates the voltage rating. The "R" indicates that it is a receptacle, as opposed to a plug (which would be designated with a "P"). The other options are not correct because they either have a different amperage rating (C - 5-20R) or a different voltage rating (B - 5-15P, D - 6-15R).
