I just read the previous reply -- I have no idea how accurate the information is. That being said, I do know that I installed an outlet on my post 5 years ago. It is curved. I have used it everyday, 24 hours a day to keep my PHEV (plug in hybrid electric vehicle), a Chevy Volt charged. It is handling 12 amps, rain or shine. It is on a circuit that also is used for the attic light and the garage door opener. It is not GFCI protected. I have had no problems with it. I live in a courtyard villa in Sabal Chase.
