What is Extension Cord Factory-Assembled Safety Cords
Extension cords are an essential component of electrical appliances. Conventional sockets and plugs are separate components. Many appliances are multi-functional, so extension cords are a must-have. Traditional sockets and plugs are also prone to electrical shock, and can allow water to enter the socket. The best extension cords are made with multiple sockets.
When choosing extension cords, you need to consider the wire gauge. Each cord's wire gauge is measured in AWG. The lower the AWG number, the thicker the wire. For example, a 14-gauge cord contains three conductions. The length of an extension cord is also an important factor. A longer cord increases electrical resistance and reduces power delivery.
The UL 817 standard defines extension cords as factory-assembled flexible cords with an outlet plug, current tap, and cord connector. All extension cords that fall under this rule are required to meet certain safety criteria. The table below shows the various features that are necessary for a safe extension cord. The rule also covers products made for outdoor use.
