Power Plug Adapter

Any suggestions as to where one can an adapter to go from a Y shape
male plug to a standard U.S. electrical outlet. The plug looks like a
smaller version of the type of plugs you find on dryers. It is
definitely not T shaped. A google search for power plug adapter turns
up several hits for universal power plug adapters which are designed
to work with T shaped plugs but none for Y shaped. If I can't find
one I will replace the Y shaped power plug with a standard U.S. power
plug. A step down transformer is not needed as the equipment is
designed to work from either 120 volt or 240 volt power.

Oh Hell, that aint nothing!.

We have 220V, 3 phase receptacles just about every where in the plant
from the original system when it was 220 through out!. Now we use 480, 3
phase but never changed the receptacles!

We just love it when we have contractors bringing in their
220 devices and plugging it into 480

You would think that we'd mark all of this!, well some of it is still
labeled here and there how ever, over the years the local habitat from
their house keeping etc, has painted over them or removed them.

The only ones that are still clearly marked are those that are still
220 volts in the 220 receptacles! .. Ha. what a way to go.

Depends - if the thing is not going to go back to wherever its plug came
from, a simple normal US plug and cutting the end off to fit the new US
plug should be the easy solution. Just a thought.

 

Thanks for the great lead. It is a CPCS-CCC Chinese 10A 250V Plug
and it is used on Chinese made digital storage scope. As far as I can
tell from the Wikipedia article Chinese and Australian/New Zealand 10A
250V plugs are interchangeable.

It is a CPCS-CCC Chinese 10A 250V plug. That Wikipedia article is a
great resource for information on the various types of power plugs
used around the world.

No, all the pins were approximately !/4 inch wide by 1/16 inch thick
by 13/16 inch long blades. You were close but no cigar.
