ABSTRACT:
A receptacle including a front surface including one or more slots for receiving contact blades; a rear surface including one or more terminals for connecting the contact blades to a power source, the one or more terminals being line terminals and load terminals; a shutter positioned between the front surface and the rear surface of the receptacle, the shutter configured to be misaligned in relation to the one or more slots in order to obstruct a direct path between the contact blades and the one or more terminals, wherein insertion of an object in the one or more slots causes displacement of the shutter; and a shutter lock operatively connected in the receptacle to receive power from the power source connected to the receptacle.
