Yes, and a good, solid "industrial-duty" single-phase plug, such as one might
find on an extension cord used on a construction-site, is usually a "big ol'
heavy thing" which will drop right out of even a NEW wall-outlet! There are
some, now, with a SCREW diagonally through the plug-head and the "round"
grounding-pin, which, when screwed gingerly in, will "lock" the plug, so that
a worker walking by and over the cord with a bundle of materials which block
his view of the ground in front of him will SURELY trip him, causing heinous
injury, for which he can (usually-successfully) sue his employer, and...
Never mind.
