About the Tesla GPO1/20 — 20A Single Power Point Applications

The Tesla GPO1/20 is a high-current single outlet specified for circuits requiring a 20A rated socket — commercial kitchen equipment such as commercial dishwashers, large refrigeration units, and industrial cooking appliances, workshop machinery including compressors and large power tools, and any application where a dedicated 20A circuit and outlet is required for a specific high-draw load. The 20A outlet uses a pin configuration that is physically different to both the standard 10A and 15A outlets — only a 20A rated plug will fit, ensuring that only 20A rated appliances are connected to the circuit.

The GPO1/20 uses a 35A double pole mechanism — the same mechanism type as used in the WGPO2D double pole GPO and the HOT/OVEN/STOVE engraved cooking appliance mechanisms. The double pole action switches both the active and neutral conductors simultaneously, providing complete isolation of the outlet from both supply conductors when switched off. This is the required switching action for high-current single phase outlets in commercial and industrial applications.

The GPO1/20 is part of the Tesla high-current single outlet range which covers 20A (GPO1/20), 25A (GPO1/25), and 32A (GPO1/32) — all with the same 116mm × 76mm × 32mm plate format and 84mm mounting centres, and all horizontal mount only. The circuit supplying a GPO1/20 must be rated for 20A and protected by a 20A rated circuit breaker. Always confirm circuit rating and outlet requirements with the licensed electrician performing the installation.

Q: What is the difference between GPO1/20 and the standard GPO1 (10A) or GPO1/15 (15A)?
A: The GPO1/20 is rated 20A and uses a 20A pin configuration — physically different to both the 10A and 15A outlets. It also uses a 35A double pole mechanism (vs single pole in the 10A and 15A versions) and is 32mm deep (vs 28mm for the 10A/15A). A 10A or 15A plug will not fit a 20A outlet, and a 20A plug will not fit a 10A or 15A outlet. Each rating uses a unique pin layout.

Q: Why does the 20A outlet use a double pole mechanism?
A: The 35A double pole mechanism switches both the active and neutral conductors simultaneously — providing complete isolation of the outlet from both supply conductors when switched off. This is the appropriate switching action for high-current commercial and industrial outlet applications.

Q: What standard does the GPO1/20 comply with?
A: The GPO1/20 complies with AS/NZS 1150:2004+A1 — the Australian and New Zealand standard for socket outlets rated above 15A. This is different to the AS/NZS 3112 standard that covers the 10A and 15A outlets.
