Help needed with ID of receptacle
What is the intended polarity/voltage of the lower receptacles?
And what would likely have been drawing current from these - there is one on an enclosed front porch, and another behind in on the interior of the exterior front wall.

Re: Help needed with ID of receptacle
The closest configuration I could find is a 208 volt 30 amp, but that would not be on duplex, it would be a single receptacle.
Sooooo ... got me.

Wow,
Never saw that before.
208v would be three phase. *Could be* but *not likely* on a residential home.
May be some kind of recreational outlet????

Re: Help needed with ID of receptacle
Over at Mike Holt they pointed me here:
ECN Electrical Forums: 4 Prong Duplex Receptacle
ECN Electrical Forums: 4 Prong Duplex Receptacle
Appears that this is designed to accept either a 120 or 240 15A ungrounded plug.
I'm still wondering what might have been plugged into it.
