A live side power supply coupled to the outlet and a neutral side of the outlet is provided. A first set of contacts coupled to the live side power supply and in a normally open state and supported on a first live side lever. A second set of contact is coupled to the live side through the first set of contacts and couples to the neutral side of the circuit in a normally open state supported on a second live side lever. A third set of contacts is coupled to the second and to the neutral side of the circuit in a normally open state on a first neutral side levers. A fourth set of contacts is coupled to the third set of at least four pairs of contacts and thereby couples the third set of contacts to neutral, the fourth set of contacts in a normally open state and supported on a second neutral side levers, where the insertion of standard sized plug prongs in their respective sides, the live side prong engages the first and second live side levers and couples the first and second sets of contacts to couple the powers supply on the live side of the circuit to neutral and the neutral standard sized plug prong engages the first and second neutral side levers to engage the third and fourth of sets of contacts to the neutral side of the circuit and complete the circuit. Failure to admit a standard sized plug blade on either the live or neutral side of the outlet would result in a failure to complete the circuit and only couple the respective side to neutral.
