The scenario will remain forever unknown. Who said what or asked what to whom. Myself I blame with bitterness a stupid NEC who is paid LOTS OF MONEY to design standards to AVOID confusion. Think this would have occurred if one hot or neutral blade had been oriented 90 degrees from the other? Remember the SIZE of the blades and sockets. The idiots who approved the regulation did not even have a glimmer as to the confusing similarities between an RV plug and a dryer plug. Whaddya mean require RV sockets and plugs to be coded with blue nylon?
We pay fools salaries of hundreds of thousands of dollars to make elementary school level decisions that seem to be above their pay grade. NEMA should have complained. They didn't.
Yeah - un huh, I would have lasted mere minutes in a corporate environment.
The idiots are doing ZERO to intercept an avalanche of far east goods branded UL with fictituous listings.
Now combine all this with an electrician who carries a tool belt, tools, meters, and rolling papers.
It'd be funny if insurance rates weren't stratospheric and people did not get injured.
You're living it: The downfall to third-world status.
