Line Cords
AC power cords carry alternating current from one area to another.
There are many different standard plugs and voltages, depending upon
the country. These cords are a conducting medium, usually copper,
that is surrounded by insulation and a jacket. Power cords can
have 2, 3, or 4 conductors. Choices for male end types include
NEMA types, hardwired stripped types, hard wired terminals, CEE,
BS, JIS, AS, SRAF, SEV, CEI, SI, and BS types. The National Electrical
Manufacturers Association (NEMA) sets standards for AC power cord
male ends. The male end can also be stripped hard wires, hard wires
with terminals, European ends, UK specific ends, and many other
country specific types. The polarization for male end types can be
polarized or nonpolarized. A polarized end fits only one way; a
nonpolarized end fits both ways. Female end types include NEMA,
hard-wired stripped, hard-wired terminals, and IEC types. The
National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) sets standards
for AC power cord female ends. The female end can also be stripped
hard wires and hard wires with terminals. The International
Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) sets standards for European female ends.
