NEMA power cords are a common means of linking electronic gadgets and equipment to electricity sources. These cables are formulated to satisfy the criteria established by the National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA), an American trade association that represents producers of electrical equipment.
Typically, a NEMA power cable is made up of a plug that is fastened to the power source at one end, while the other end has a socket that is linked to the gadget or device. The plug is specifically intended to fit into a NEMA receptacle, which is a standardized electrical outlet found in North America.
NEMA power cords are available in various forms and configurations, each tailored to satisfy specific demands. For instance, the NEMA 5-15P is a standard three-pronged power cord that is commonly used for desktop computers, monitors, and other small appliances. On the other hand, the NEMA 5-20P is a three-pronged power cord with a larger grounding pin required for appliances that need more power, such as refrigerators and air conditioners.
