Bjarney,

I take it you are talking about a NEMA 10/20 - 125/250V:20A.

I recently saw a set of these plugs and extension cord recepticles at an out-of-town hardware store - it's an area dominated by trailer homes, is this a coincidence? I'm going to take an Australian plug down there to see if it fits and will let you know.

What you say regarding grounding though confuses me. Are you saying that for old (NEC <= 1993) 30A and 50A 125/250V circuits it was OK to bond the frame of the appliance to the grounded wire (neutral) wire but not with a 20A 125/250V (Crows-foot) circuit?
