The 298G8 is a grounded adaptor plug from the 298G Series of International Grounded Adaptor Plugs. It provides the North American 240V grounded plug pattern, so a plug-in isolation transformer can be connected to power outlets used in the USA, Canada, the Philippines and parts of the Caribbean and South America. It is intended for technicians, travellers with equipment and integrators who deploy plug-in transformers across different regions.
The series is made for use with the 171, 172, 175, 176, 179, 289 and 298 transformers. The adaptor keeps a ground connection between the equipment and the international power source, which matters when the transformer and the connected load rely on a grounded supply.
Construction is a heavy duty design with a plastic shell and double-wipe contacts. The 298G8 has a shipping weight of 0.07 lbs (0.03 kg), is RoHS and REACH compliant, and is rated for indoor use only.
Keep in mind that the adaptor does not change voltage. It is a mechanical device made to match international pinouts, so the transformer itself must be chosen for the supply voltage and the equipment being powered. The full list of countries for the North American (240V) plug type is: Canada; Parts of the Caribbean, South America; Philippines; USA.
