Design three-phase power receptacles installed in hangars, aprons, and
ramps for supply of electrical energy to aircraft support equipment to fit the plug used as
the standard on the support equipment. Design receptacles for inserts with a metal
enclosure for wall or flush mounting, weather-tight, load rated, three-phase, four -wire,
six-pole. Design receptacles to provide an adjustable source of power for 240/416-
254/440-265/460 volt, 60-Hertz equipment with transformer tap adjustment, if required.
Use a phase rotation of ABC, clockwise, looking into the receptacle. Provide receptacle
