Best Answer

The definition of an outlet in Article 100 of the National Electrical Code book (US) is:

"Outlet. A point on the wiring system at which current is taken to supply utilization equipment."

You can have a receptacle outlet, lighting outlet, or some other hardwired equipment outlet.

The word "outlet" in the NEC (code) actually refers to a box. You have receptacle outlets, lighting outlets, and switch outlets.

If by outlet you are referring to a receptacle, the code defines it as "a contact device installed at the outlet for the connection of an attachment plug." Basically it refers to any device that allows access to power by plugging into it.

Why do i get big discounts in a factory outlet?

Volume discounts. The factory outlet buys larger quantities of items, and therefore initially pays less for them, passing on some of their savings to you, the consumer. However - at times, the factory outlet buys out a discontinued item (no longer being made) which isn't selling at normal retail. In that case, you could be buying last years model or may have trouble finding parts for an item that is no longer being manufactured.

Does measuring the the wall outlet voltage give you the full load measurement?

A: measuring the wall outlet will tell the potential in volts available but not the power capability. If a load is applied then that voltage shell tell you the wall outlet capability under load B: mostly correct, the measurement of the outlet under load of an item plugged in will tell you the load drawn by that item, but not the load capacity of the outlet, that is found in you power box by what level fuse is in that circuit and what else is running on that same circuit. most outlets have a 10 amp rating, some have 15 amps some have 20 amps, though most appliances do not draw more than 10 amps anyway.

What is the difference between a coach factory outlet and a coach store?

A Coach store will offer the very latest release items in mint condition for a retail price. A Coach Factory Outlet will provide discounted stock: things they haven't managed to sell in the normal shops before the new items arrived; and irregular items: things that might be missing a zipper charm, be scuffed or marked in some way but at a lower price. In the majority of cases, Factory Outlet items are in awesome condition and are brilliant value, but are usually a season old before they arrive - and if you are waiting for a specific item to make it to the Outlet, you have to keep a sharp eye out and be aware that if an item sells out in the ordinary stores, then there's nothing to send to the Outlet.
