World Headquarters General Cable 4 Tesseneer Drive Highland Heights, KY 41076-9753 U.S.A. vii Portable Cord Specifications Cord & Cordset 1 Portable Cord Specifications When specifying and purchasing portable cord products, application details are important and often essential in determining the right product for the right job. Often, the same application can be served using one or more products. Accurate understanding of the application and the environment where the cable is being used will often point to the product line providing the correct cord products. For those extreme application environments or very specific technical requirements, General Cable’s engineering and customer service Wire Wizards are eager to assist you. We will help you find the right cable for your needs. This easy-to-use checklist outlines the key questions you will need to ask to determine the right cable for a particular application: 1. What is the application? (identifies where cable is being used) a. Environmental Conditions 6. What is the stranding? (some applications require higher count stranding for better flexibility) b. Temperature/Humidity (minimum/maximum ranges) 7. What is the overall length needed? (important in calculating voltage drop) c. Moisture (will the cable be submerged or exposed to weather, rain, etc.?) 8. Is any special color-coding of conductors needed? d. Dirt/Dust e. Chemical Exposure (gases, oils, alkalis, acids, cleaning materials) f. Critical Service/ Reliability Needs 2. What is the voltage? See page 2 for additional information regarding Voltage Drop. 3. What is the amperage? See page 3 for additional information regarding Ampacity. 4. What is the gauge size? 5. How many conductors are required for the application? 1 9. Does this cable need agency approvals (UL, CSA, MSHA, RoHS, etc.)? Answers to these questions will help you determine the right product for the application. While this information is sufficient for most application requirements, good engineering practices are still essential. General Cable’s customer service and engineering Wire Wizards are ready to help you in finding the right cord product for all of your application needs. Our Wire Wizards have the skill and knowledge to select and even custom-engineer cord products for your most demanding and challenging applications. Ask Sam, the Wire Wizard SM Voltage Drop: Picking the Right Cable for the Long Run BY SAM FRIEDMAN, DIRECTOR, TECHNICAL SERVICES — CARO L® BR AND CORD PRODUCTS — GENER AL CABLE Reliability may not be a tangible item that’s installed alongside a new furnace or wired into a dock-side crane, but nonetheless, it is an essential “accessory” that can mean the difference between overtime and lost time; in-stock and out-of-stock; perfect fits and refits. Being labeled as “unreliable” can mean ruin for a business, regardless of what you’re making, installing or servicing. That’s why it is vital to understand simple yet often overlooked problems, like voltage drop, in product applications. Voltage drop is the reduction in voltage in an electrical circuit between the source and load. For equipment to operate properly, it must be supplied with the right amount of power, which is measured in watts: current (amps) times voltage (volts). Motors, generators, tools — anything that runs on electricity is rated for power, as in a 100-watt light bulb. The correct amount of power enables equipment to meet its designed power rating and operate efficiently. Incorrect or insufficient power amounts can result in inefficient operation, wasteful power usage, and even equipment damage. That is why understanding voltage drop calculations and selecting the correct cable for each application is so important. The National Electrical Code (NEC) catalogs the requirements for safe electrical installations and represents the primary document for guidance in the United States. Providing direction for both trained professionals and end users, these codes set the foundation for the design and inspection of electrical installations. So how does the Code treat voltage drop issues? For branch circuits, look to NEC (NFPA 70) Section 215.2(A)(3) footnote 2 and Section 210.19(A)(1) footnote 4. Both advise that conductors for feeders to dwelling units should be sized to prevent voltage drop exceeding 3% and maximum total voltage drop on both feeders and branch circuits should not exceed 5% for “reasonable efficiency of operation.” In addition, look to NEC (NFPA 70) Section 647.4 (D) when dealing with sensitive electronic equipment. It states that voltage drop on any branch circuit shall not exceed 1.5% and the combined voltage drop on branch-circuit and feeder conductors shall not exceed 2.5%. It is important to note that much of the equipment manufactured today contains sensitive electronics. Ampacity, a cable’s electric current-carrying capacity, is also connected to voltage drop. The Code stresses the importance of accounting for voltage drop when considering a cable’s ampacity rating and the need to satisfy both requirements. NEC Section 310.15 (A)(1) states that ampacity tables do not take voltage drop into consideration. For DC current, voltage drop is proportional to amount of current flow and wire resistance. In AC circuits, total impedance and power factor (power loss ratio) also need to be considered. Since wire resistance is a factor of wire size, material and length of run, it is important to choose the proper wire size for length of run to keep voltage drop at the desired level. To simplify your voltage drop calculations, turn to the Carol Brand Cord & Cordset Catalog and/or our online resources. Use either the “Voltage Drop Calculations” table on page 84 in the catalog or download a PDF of the catalog by visiting: www.generalcable.com/GeneralCable/en-US/Products/ CordandCordsetProducts/Catalog/ Wherever you find it — in print or online — this table makes calculating project voltage drop straightforward and easy. For example, let’s say your project involves a 100-foot run of 12/3 SOOW wire, 12 amps line current for equipment, line circuit of 120 volts AC, 3 phase, 100% power factor. According to the calculation table, the factor is 3190. Next, multiply current times distance (feet) times factor: 12 x 100 x 3190 = 3,828,000. Finally, place a decimal in front of the last six figures, and the result is the volts lost — voltage drop = 3.8 volts (3.2% of overall voltage). So, to ensure the reliability of your products/installations/service calls, be sure to account for voltage drop when making your cable selections. While it is mainly a nuisance issue, voltage drop can affect equipment efficiency, power consumption and potential damage to sensitive electronics and other systems. Fortunately, these issues are easily avoided, especially when you rely upon the NEC codes and standards that relate to voltage drop — each of which provides useful guidance in ensuring the success of your application. By selecting a cable with the correct voltage drop characteristics, you will optimize the operation of your connected equipment, increase your efficiencies and prevent equipment damage. And that’s a pretty good payoff, in the short term or the long run. Still need help?

Advantages Applications Thermoset rubber delivers superior performance. Thermoset compounds have been vulcanized by heat and will not soften or distort from their formed shape when exposed to excessive heat or open flame. On the contrary, thermoplastics will deform under high temperatures, resulting in degradation of their physical attributes. Rubber not only exhibits excellent heat-resistant characteristics; it offers other advantages as well. Since rubber was first introduced, it has been the product of choice for portable power applications. It is more durable in the harsh conditions encountered in the following environments: • Flexibility • Durability • Tear Resistance • Abrasion Resistance • Melt Resistance • Oil, Water and Chemical Resistance • Impact Resistance 3 • Mining and Submersible Pumps • Control Circuits • Motors and Associated Machinery • Temporary and Portable Power • Construction Equipment • Portable Tools and Equipment • Portable Appliances Product Offering Cable Types: SOOW, SJOOW, SO and SJ Voltage: 600V and 300V Gauges: 2 AWG to 18 AWG Conductors: 1 to 50 Jacket Color: Black (standard) and Yellow Compliances: UL, CSA, MSHA Rubber Portable Power Cords General Cable’s Carol® Brand rubber portable cords, which are manufactured in the U.S.A., are an obvious choice for portable power applications. Rubber surpasses plastic compounds in flexibility, high temperature performance, durability and more. This quick reference guide summarizes the key performance differences among the various portable cord compounds available in today’s market. Properties Thermoplastic Thermoplastic PVC Elastomer Thermoset Rubber Benefits of Thermoset Rubber Products Hot Oil Resistance hermoset rubber will maintain T mechanical integrity in high temperature oil High Temperature Performance Thermoset rubber is heat-cured, so it will not melt at high temperatures Flexibility at Room Temperature Thermoset rubber and thermoplastic elastomer are more flexible at room temperature than PVC Flexibility at Low Temperatures Thermoset rubber will stay more flexible while approaching low temperatures Industrial Abrasion Resistance Thermoset rubber products are preferred in industrial applications Wear Resistance ield experience has proven thermoset F rubber cords to be the most durable products on the market Electrical Resistance Thermoset rubber insulation compounds have lower dielectric constants, providing greater dielectric strength than thermoplastic products Tear Resistance hermoset rubber jackets have better T tear resistance than thermoplastic jackets Water Resistance All three products are designed to meet UL & CSA water resistance requirements for outdoor cords Sunlight Resistance All three products are formulated to have UV stability UL Listing (Indoor & Outdoor) and CSA Only rubber compounds can be used on SOOW products MSHA Approval Thermoset rubber will not deform after exposure to open flame General Cable 4 Ask Sam, the Wire Wizard SM Ampacity: Choosing Cable When the Heat Is On BY SAM FRIEDMAN, DIRECTOR, TECHNICAL SERVICES — CARO L® BR AND CORD PRODUCTS — GENER AL CABLE Thanks to the dedication and ingenuity of cable engineers around the world, there are cables available for an almost infinite number of applications. Welding cable, extension cords, stage lighting cable, landscape lighting wire, diesel locomotive cable, major appliance cord — you name the energy transmission need, and I’ll name the applicable product. Whether your project faces environmental extremes, necessitates considerable flexibility, or simply requires unfailing reliability and longevity, it’s essential that your quest for the optimal cable begin with identifying its optimal ampacity. However, the number of current-carrying conductors found in a cable also affects ampacity. When a group of cables are bunched closely together, the NEC requires a derating of the ampacity for each individual cable. This is because tightly gathered cables can create a significant buildup of heat, which could rise above the rated temperature of the compounds used. This bunching effect also hinders heat dissipation, further increasing the risk of heat-related cable damage. Refer to NEC Table 310.15(B)(2)(a) for specifics about ampacity derating based on number of cables used in cable, conduit or raceway. Ampacity is the maximum current an insulated conductor can safely carry without exceeding its insulation and jacket temperature limitations — or in plain terms, it’s a cable’s electric current-carrying capacity. Most power cable is sized according to its ampacity, a fact that underscores the importance of first considering amperage needs when selecting portable power cable. By doing so, you’ll avoid serious safety hazards, equipment damage and production downtime caused by overcurrent — i.e., too much current flowing through a conductor — which is a significant threat to under-amped cable. Excessive current can cause overheating, insulation damage and fire/shock hazards that, in turn, can harm equipment through heat buildup and produce cable faults that lead to lost productivity. Therefore, it is essential to start every project with the correct cable and then have every installation reviewed and carried out by a trained electrical professional. It is important to remember that heat degrades most ordinary insulating materials, and this decay directly affects cable ampacity — yet another reason to take current-carrying capacity into account when selecting a cable. By doing so, you confirm that the conductor’s insulating material and jacket can handle the heat load caused by electrical current flow and eliminate the possibility of exposing cables to temperatures higher than they are designed to manage. There are several systems of codes and standards that can help identify the correct ampacity for your power cable needs. Developed to provide direction for both trained professionals and end users, these codes set the foundation for the design and inspection of electrical installations. First, there is the National Electric Code (NEC or NFPA 70), which catalogs the requirements for safe electrical installations and represents the primary document for guidance in the United States. There are also regulations set forth by the Insulated Cable Engineers Association (ICEA) and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) — both of which address ampacity standards for power cables. Because there are so many diverse electrical specialties, be sure to select a professional who has expertise in your particular application and its specific code requirements. For the purpose of this discussion, let’s focus on the standards established by the National Electric Code. It’s amazing how many sections of the NEC deal with wire, depending on the user’s particular application. It is essential for project safety that you study the portion of the code that concentrates on your intended environment and use. As I mentioned earlier, temperature plays an important role in determining cable ampacity. For purposes of design rating, the ambient temperature is set at the maximum expected ambient temperature. In the NEC, the values in the ampacity tables are based on 30°C ambient. In order to determine ampacities at ambient temperatures other than 30°C, the code has included correction factors for these other temperatures in the ampacity tables in Article 310. Cable ampacity of a single conductor is calculated based on the size of the electrified conductor, the established ambient temperature and the temperature rating of the insulation and jacket compounds. An increase in temperature rating of the compounds and/or an increase in conductor size will increase cable ampacity. Conversely, an increase in ambient temperature will decrease ampacity. 5 The NEC also permits ampacities to be calculated. However, this should only be attempted under engineering supervision and when the parameters of the cable and installation are known. Article 310.15(C) provides the method for doing this calculation. There are some specific cabling applications for which the NEC does not set ampacity guidelines, including mining cable and utility cable. For example, most ampacity ratings for mining cable come from ICEA standard tables, which assume an ambient temperature of 40°C vs. 30°C. Because of its many specialized applications, the ampacity ratings for most power generation and energy transmission/distribution utility cables are specified by use — such as direct-buried cable, suspended cable (e.g., transmission lines) and in-duct cable. These particular installations also require specific engineering calculations that incorporate factors like temperature, wind speeds and sunlight exposure. Understandably, such highly specialized setups require not only unique ampacity guidelines but also engineering supervision and the seasoned judgment of a trained electrical professional. So, the next time you’re in the market for a cable solution, start your search by first establishing the project’s ampacity requirements. By doing so, you can avoid dangerous heat buildup, prevent equipment damage and ensure the long-term safety of your cable selection. But don’t worry, you don’t have to go it alone! The codes and standards established for your particular application can provide invaluable guidance throughout your product search and final installation. If your project falls into one of the specialized setups addressed in a unique code section, please consider having your cable installation carried out under engineering supervision. Put simply, safety depends on selecting the right cable. By paying attention to the current-carrying capacity of your chosen cable, you’ll help maximize the life of your cable and contribute to the well-being of anyone who comes into contact — be it directly or indirectly — with your installation.

Bending is the bend than a shielded cable. This is conceal such damage. The extruded positioning of cable when it is under especially true for cables having helically polymers used for insulation shields have tension. When installing cable, the object applied metallic shielding tapes which, sufficient conductivity and coverage initially is to limit the mechanical forces so that when bent too sharply, can separate or to pass acceptance testing, then fail the cable’s physical and electrical buckle and cut into the insulation. prematurely due to corona at the shield/ characteristics are maintained for the Remember that offsets are bends. insulation interface. expected service life. Bends in conductors, multiconductor cables or assemblies of conductors shall be made so that the cable will not be damaged.

AWG means American Wire Gauge. It designates the size of the copper wire. The standard sizes for extension cords are 16 AWG, 14 AWG, 12 AWG and 10 AWG. The smaller the AWG number, the larger the size of the copper wire and wattage rating. What do the amp and watt ratings mean? Never plug more than the specific number of watts into a cord. For example, could you plug a 150-watt lamp, a 60-watt lamp and a 10-amp appliance into an extension cord rated 13 amps/1625 watts? se the Amp to Watt Conversion U Table to determine the total number of watts to be used (150 watts + 60 watts + 1250 watts = 1460 watts). Therefore, it is safe to use the 13-amp/1625-watt extension cord. Always look for the Underwriters Laboratory label which is permanently attached or molded into the cord. Read the label for instructions and electrical ratings. Amps To Watts (@ 125 V) Conversion Table 0 = 0 1 = 125 2 = 250 3 = 375 4 = 500 5 = 625 6 = 750 7 = 875 8 = 1000 9 = 1125 10 = 1250 11 = 1375 12 = 1500 13 = 1625 14 = 1750 15 = 1875 How to use an extension cord properly. • Be sure the cord you have selected meets the intended use. Never use a cord outdoors that is not marked for outdoors. • Inspect cord thoroughly before each use. Do not use if damaged. • Do not remove, bend or modify any metal prongs or pins of plug. • Look for the number of watts on appliances to be plugged into cord. • Refer to UL Label on cord for specific wattage. • Do not connect a three-prong plug into a two-hole cord. • Do not plug more than the specified number of watts into a cord. • Make sure appliance is off before connecting cord to outlet. • A polarized plug has one blade wider than the other. • Fully insert plug into outlet. • Do not use excessive force to make connections. • Do not run cords through doorways, holes in ceilings, walls or floors. • Do not use an extension cord when wet. • Keep extension cords away from water. • Keep children and pets away from extension cords. • Avoid overheating. Uncoil cord and do not cover it with any other material. • Do not plug one extension cord into another. • Do not drive, drag or place objects over extension cord. • Always grasp plug when removing it from cord or outlet. • Do not unplug by pulling on cord. • Always store extension cords indoors. • Do not walk on cord. • Always unplug cord when not in use. • Always look for the Underwriters Laboratory (UL) label which is permanently attached or molded into the cord. Read the label for instructions and electrical ratings. 96 Cordset Technical Information Cord & Cordset Cordset Product Coding System Cordset Packaging and Color Codes Example: 03302.63.04 Product Number Jacket Color Code Identification Numbers Packaging Code Identification Numbers CODE PACKAGING 13 60 61 63 Clamshell Cuff Box CODE 70 73 96 PACKAGING CODE COLOR CODE 00 01 02 03 04 05 No color 06 07 08 10 17 Bulk (with tie) Bulk (without tie) Card Sleeve Surface Printed Legend Our extension cords have surface-printed jackets to provide a means of identifying and distinguishing between different types of extension cords.

The GFCI is a fast-acting circuit interrupter that senses small current imbalances. These small imbalances in the circuit are caused by current leakage to ground and, in a fraction of a second, the GFCI shuts off the electricity. The GFCI continually matches the amount of current going to an electrical device against the amount of current returning from the device along the normal path. Whenever the amount “going” differs from the amount “returning” by approximately 5 milliamps, the GFCI interrupts the electrical power within as little as 1/40 of a second. What are OSHA’s Electrical Standards for Construction? GFCIs can be used successfully to reduce electrical hazards on construction sites... Tripping of GFCIs ‑ interruption of current flow ‑ is sometimes caused by wet connectors and tools. It is a good practice to limit exposure of connectors and tools to excessive moisture by using watertight or sealable connectors. Providing more GFCIs or shorter circuits can prevent tripping caused by the cumulative leakage from several tools or by leakages from extremely long circuits. 99 To help cope with the electrical hazards at construction sites... The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) issued a revision of OSHA safety and health regulation, 29 Code of Federal Regulations Part 1926, Subpart K (Electrical Standards of Construction). This revision was published in the federal Register and contains the requirements for the GFCI and the assured equipment grounding conductor program. What are the Employer’s Responsibilities on a Construction Site? OSHA ground‑fault protection rules and regulations have been determined necessary and appropriate for employee safety and health. Therefore, it is the employer’s responsibility to provide either... • Ground‑fault circuit interrupters on construction sites for receptacle outlets in use and not a part of the permanent wiring of the building or structure. • A scheduled and recorded assured equipment grounding conductor program on construction sites, covering all cordsets, receptacles that are not part of the permanent wiring of the building or structure, and equipment connected by cord and plug that are for use or used by employees. It is also the employer’s responsibility to provide approved ground fault circuit interrupters for a 120‑volt, single-phase, 15‑ and 20‑ampere receptacle outlets on construction sites that are not part of the permanent wiring of the building or structure, and that are in use by employees. Receptacles on the ends of extension cords are not part of the permanent wiring and, therefore must be protected by GFCIs whether or not the extension cord is plugged into permanent wiring. Effective management of worker safety and health protection is a decisive factor in reducing the extent and severity of work-related injuries and illnesses and their related costs. An effective program includes provisions for the systematic identification, evaluation and prevention or control of general workplace hazards, specific job hazards and potential hazards that may arise from foreseeable conditions. An effective program will include management commitment and employee involvement, work site analysis, hazard prevention and control, training and the proper equipment.
