Tamper-Resistant (TR) receptacles incorporate internal mechanisms to limit access to energized internal components. Homes This new TR requirement is mandatory for use in dwelling unit outlets. There are also many other applications where the use of TR receptacles can provide an additional level of electrical safety.
