Abstract
Systems, devices, and methods including a cordset having a housing comprising: a rotatable neutral blade, where the rotatable neutral blade is rotatable between a first horizontal position, a second vertical position, and a third angled position; a first hot plug blade; a second hot plug blade; and a ground plug blade.
Claims17
A system, comprising:
- a cordset comprising:
- a rotatable neutral blade, wherein the rotatable neutral blade is rotatable between a first horizontal position, a second vertical position, and a third angled position;
- a first hot plug blade;
- a second hot plug blade;
- a ground plug blade;
- and
- a sensor configured to sense an angle of the rotatable neutral blade as in at least one of:
- the first horizontal position, the second vertical position, and the third angled position.
5 more elements
A method, comprising:
- rotating a rotatable neutral blade to a position of at least one of:
- a first horizontal position, a second vertical position, and a third angled position;
- detecting, via a sensor, the rotated position of the rotatable neutral blade;
- and
- providing, via an electronics, at least one of:
- a first amperage charge, a second amperage charge, and a third amperage charge based on the detected rotated position of the rotatable neutral blade.
