less than 15 amperes and intended for use on a nominal 120-volt
circuit:
This battery charger is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit, and has a
grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in sketch A in Figure
8.8. A temporary adapter, which looks like the adapter illustrated in
sketches B and C, may be used to connect this plug to a two-pole recep-
