![]() |
Two or more insulated tinsel conductors in a common covering or twisted or molded together without a common covering; or two or more stranded conductors wound in a specifically designed spiral construction for extra flexibility. Excludes stranded conductors twisted around each other, regardless of flexibility. Refers to bulk quantities only. For cable of standard construction, see CABLE (as modified).
Additional Information for Electrical Cord
Electrical cords are essential components used for transmitting electrical power from a power source to electrical devices or equipment. They are part of the supply class "Wire And Cable, Electrical" in the supply group "Electric Wire, And Power And Distribution Equipment."
Electrical cords are typically made up of conductive wires, insulation materials, and protective sheathing. They come in various lengths, thicknesses, and configurations to suit different applications and voltage requirements.
These cords are commonly used in residential, commercial, and industrial settings to connect appliances, tools, and machinery to power sources. They provide a safe and reliable means of delivering electricity to devices while ensuring proper insulation and protection against electrical hazards.
When selecting electrical cords, it is important to consider factors such as the cord's ampacity (current-carrying capacity), voltage rating, insulation type, and overall durability. It is also crucial to follow proper installation and usage guidelines to ensure electrical safety.
Overall, electrical cords play a crucial role in the efficient and safe distribution of electrical power, making them an essential component in the field of electrical wiring and power distribution.
