    Study Notes

    Convenience Outlet

    • Provides a practical source of electrical energy for appliances.
    • Available in two types: flush type and surface type.

    Male Plug

    • Device inserted into a convenience outlet to facilitate electric current flow.
    • Consists of two ends: one connects to the outlet while the other connects to an appliance.
