John - I was able to find it in UL's public notices at
http://www.ul.com/global/eng/pages/newsroom/publicnotices/detail/index.jsp ?cpath=/global/eng/pages/newsroom/publicnotices//detail/data/ul-warns-of-p otentially-hazardous-receptacle-release-13pn-05_20130430080000.xml >From the photos, it looks as though the receptacle doesn't mix wiring types, it's that the mechanical interface accepts 125 V and 250 V NEMA plug types. Based only by appearance and that the assumption receptacle can accept NEMA 5-15P, an quick and dirty analysis of potentially compatible NEMA configured plugs is presented below. 1-15P (ungrounded, 125 V, 15 A; will fit) 2-15P (ungrounded, 250 V, 20 A; will fit) 2-20P (ungrounded, 250 V, 20 A; might fit) 5-15P (grounded, 125 V, 15 A; will fit) 5-20P (grounded, 125 V, 20 A; will fit) 6-15P (grounded, 250 V, 15 A; will fit) 6-20P (grounded, 250 V, 20 A; might fit)) Peter Tarver > -----Original Message----- > From: John Allen [mailto:john_e_al...@blueyonder.co.uk] > Sent: Monday, May 06, 2013 10:11 > To: 'Peter Tarver'; EMC-PSTC@LISTSERV.IEEE.ORG > Subject: RE: UL warning regarding a wall receptacle > > Peter > Whilst the link to the UL press release works, the > follow-on links to the > actual photos do not appear to. > > John Allen > W.London, UK. > > > -----Original Message----- > From: emc-p...@ieee.org [mailto:emc-p...@ieee.org] On > Behalf Of Peter Tarver > Sent: 06 May 2013 17:56 > To: EMC-PSTC@LISTSERV.IEEE.ORG > Subject: UL warning regarding a wall receptacle > > UL warning regarding a wall receptacle (socket outlet) > > http://www.nema.org/News/Pages/UL-Warns-of-Potentially- > Hazardous-Receptacl > e.aspx > > I'm not aware if mixing of voltages is allowed in a > duplex receptacle (I > suspect it is not, since wiring errors become more > likely and segregation of > wiring and other issues come into play in the device > box). > > The marked manufacturer makes UL Listed outlets. > > > Regards, > > Peter L.
