2 Glossary 2.1 ADAPTER CORD SET – A cord set, without a switch, for use on construction sites to provide power from a single outlet to between two and 6 outlets, convert from one contact configuration to another, or both. (See Sections 36 – 41 ). 2.2 ANTENNA POWER-SUPPLY CORD – A nondetachable power-supply cord consisting of a 2-pole, nongrounding-type (1 5 A, 1 25 V) attachment plug molded to a 3-conductor parallel-type flexible cord with the third connector terminating inside the body of the attachment plug without being electrically connected to a terminal. (See Sections 48 and 51 ). 2.3 ATTACHMENT PLUG – A male contact device for the connection of a flexible cord to an outlet device. 2.3 added March 1 6, 2001 2.4 CORD CONDUCTORS – The total number of conductors in a cord. 2.5 CORD CONNECTOR – A female contact device that is wired on flexible cord. 2.5 added March 1 6, 2001 2.6 CORD SET – A length of flexible cord assembled: a) With an attachment plug or current tap as a line fitting, and a cord connector as a load fitting, and with or without a through-cord switch, or b) With a series-connected current tap and a pendant switch. 2.7 CURRENT-CARRYING CONDUCTOR – A cord conductor excluding both the grounding conductor and the neutral conductor which carries only the unbalanced current from the other conductors.
2.1 1 GROUNDED CONDUCTOR – The circuit conductor that is intentionally grounded. 2.1 2 NONDETACHABLE POWER-SUPPLY CORD – A length of flexible cord assembled without a load fitting (appliance coupler) but with an attachment plug or current tap as a line fitting, with or without a through-cord switch for direct connection to an appliance. (See Sections 48– 51 ). 2.1 3 OUTDOOR-USE CORD SET – A cord set that is intended to supply power to portable outdoor- use appliances, consisting of the following: a) Outdoor-use flexible cord of the types SOW, SOOW, STW, STOW, STOOW, SEW, SEOW, SEOOW, SJOW, SJOOW, SJTW, SJTOW, SJTOOW, SJEW, SJEOW or SJEOOW Type and No. 1 8, 1 6, 1 4, 1 2, or 1 0 AWG conductors. b) Line and load fittings that are of the same configuration; rated 1 5 or 20 A, 1 25 or 250 V of the C1 .1 , C1 .5, C1 .6, C2.1 , C2.3, C2.4, C2.6, or C2.7 configuration as specified in the Standard for Wiring Device Configurations, UL 1 681 ; resistant to sunlight and mechanical abuse; and exclude moisture from entering the bodies. c) Not be more than three outlets, total. d) Overcurrent protection, when smaller than 1 6 AWG flexible cord is employed. e) With or without a through-cord or pendant switch rated not less than “6 A, 1 20 V – 3 A, 250 V,” or “1 0 A, 1 20 V AC” and do not permit water to enter the enclosure so as to contact live parts. f) With or without intermediate devices such as fuses, provided that they are not of the automatically resetting type and do not permit water to enter the enclosure so as to contact live parts. 2.1 3 revised March 1 6, 2001 2.1 4 OUTDOOR-USE POWER-SUPPLY CORD – A power-supply cord that is intended to be used to supply power to portable outdoor use appliances. (See Section 54).
