Abstract
This invention is directed to a receptacle having an indictor which identifies the receptacle as being a hospital grade receptacle. The indicator can be a green colored window in the face of the receptacle that is always visible. A light emitting means such as a light emitting diode located behind the window and coupled across the phase and neutral contacts of the receptacle provides a positive indication that the receptacle is connected to a live circuit.
