This morning I went to raid the big blue store's website (Lowe's) for nice big pictures of power sockets (you know the three- and four-pin 50 and 30 amp jobbies for stoves and dryers).

Anyway, Lowe's totally messed up their website over the weekend (especially the way of zooming and enlarging pictures) and it's gotten flakier than normal so I can't take any pictures from there. I did manage to get some of their normal-sized photos that DID work.

So I stole these photos (with dimensions from Hubbell, Codelca (Colombia) and other sites! [Linked Image]

I hope these are also useful. They look clear and some are in color (which is good sometimes).

Joe , if you can save these locally for further reference, I hope these work OK.

Here're a 30-amp grounded NEMA 14-30R:
