Power Cords










Connect equipment and devices to a power supply.
Cords with a NEMA 14-30 or 14-50 plug are often used to power electric vehicles. They have a high current rating.
Cords with a 90° elbow plug fit flush against a wall outlet, so they fit behind machinery or in areas where space is tight.
SVT cords are ultra-flexible and as pliable as vacuum cleaner cords. They withstand repeated winding. SJEOW cords have an oil- and water-resistant insulation. The insulation on STW and SJTW cords resists water. Use SJT cords in dry or damp locations. SRDT cords are for use with high-current equipment, such as ranges and dryers.

Safety Start-Up Power Cords





After shutting off power to equipment during a power failure, these cords must be manually reset, preventing unexpected equipment start-up. Use them to replace three-wire power cords on equipment driven by small single-phase motors. The industry designation is SJTO, so the insulation resists oil.

Light Duty Power Cords







Designed for indoor applications, these cords are often used to power appliances.
Cords with a 90° elbow plug fit flush against a wall outlet for use behind machinery or in areas where space is tight.
SPT cords have a flat cord shape so they fit in tight spaces. The numbers 1, 2, and 3 indicate the relative thickness of the insulation. SPT-3 is the thickest, so it is less flexible but more durable than -1 and -2 cords.
Use SJT cords in dry or damp locations.

GFCI Power Cords


Stop electric shocks before they happen—these cords cut power to equipment when they detect an unsafe current. Once the surge has passed, an automatic reset resumes the flow of power. These SJTW cords have insulation that protects them from water, so they’re safe to use in outdoor charging stations and other wet areas. To help it fit behind machinery and in other tight spaces, the plug has a 90° elbow that sits flush against outlets. Hardwire the other end to your equipment or attach an electrical connector to make your own GFCI-protected extension cord.
