Why Tamper-Resistant (TR) Receptacles are safer than other preventive measures
- Once installed, they are permanent, offering continuous protection unlike plastic outlet caps that can be removed
- Shuttered wallplates add layers of material between blades and receptacle contacts. Underwriters Laboratories (UL) has withdrawn its listing from tamper-resistant wallplates
- Tamper-resistant receptacles are certified and subjected to severe and documented testing procedures defined by UL
- Automatic protection whenever a plug is removed
