In order to dig deeper than we've ever seen before, into this antiquated standard, I bought a NEMA L5-30 socket. This is the standard used for 30A shore power on boats here in the USA and elsewhere.


In order to drive this home I chose to destroy this socket by cutting it open to give a full look into why they are so dangerous.
