These cords feature 3 18awg conductors with North American Color Coding surrounded by a robust SJT (Service Junior Thermoplastic) outer jacket. 


These cord sets can be used in either 125V circuits, or, 250V circuits as shown on the left. When used in 125V circuits, there is one Hot conductor, the green Ground conductor, and one Neutral conductor. When used in 250V circuits, there are two Hot conductors, and the green Ground conductor. 


It is very important that you ensure the device you are plugging this cordset into can handle the voltage supplied by the power source. For example, if you connect this power cord set to a device rated for 125V, and a power source rated for 250V, you are going to fry the device as this cord set DOES NOT CHANGE VOLTAGE.
