Equipment for General Use - Cord Conductors |

|
Cord connectors are used to join two sections of electrical cord together.
Attachment plugs are devices that are fastened onto the end of a cord so that electrical
contact can be made between the conductors in the cord and the conductors in a receptacle.
Connectors, plugs, and receptacles are uniquely designed for different voltages and
currents, so that only matching plugs will fit into the correct receptacle or cord
connector. In this way, equipment rated for one voltage-current combination cannot be
plugged into a power system that is of a different voltage or current capacity. The only exceptions to this are 125-volt and 250-volt, 20-Ampere, T-slot receptacles. The 125-Volt, 20-Ampere T-slot receptacle is illustrated in the graphic to the left. |
