It's Official--I'm a Doofus

It was a 240 receptacle it looks like this one.

I know better it was just my doofus quota for the day

I don't think that's a 240 recepticle. It looks like a single-gang 120V 20A (NEMA5-20) to me. If that was wired for 240, better talk to your electrician.

I agree with Bob, that sure does look like a 120v 20A. Most all 240V recepticles I've seen make it impossible to plug in a 120V plug.
