  1. WhatarePowerCords?WhichCordPowersYourComputer? You just cannot take away the electrical oxygen we require for survival!Allourmajorday today activities either are contingenton machines or electricity or both. Weneedmachinesandmachines need electricity. Electricity is the flow of electrons through a conductor. Now, to align that flow of electrons,weneedametal conductorsheathedinsideapoly vinyl chlorideinsulator(PVC).This equipmenttypically known as apowercord. Powercord,powerconnector,mainscableorlinecord- callit with any of those names but the purpose it serves would not change. These power cords let you connect your electrical appliance through itself with oneofitsendspluggedinthewallsocketora wallextensionboardanditsotherendispluggedinthereceptacle installed on the appliance, to build a system of temporary connection. https://www.sfcable.com/

  2. Appliances which are purely power backed, need these power cords to get connected with the main electrical supply line for powering andenergizingitself.Fewappliancesarebatterybacked and they majorly need the connection only to recharge the batteries.These cords are capableof carrying alternating current as well as direct current.

NEMAPowerCords Back in 1926, National Electrical Manufacturing Association was established in North America which developed the NEMA 1 connector. The connector itself dates back to roughly the same time period. Today NEMA connectors are generally used all over the North American Continent and in countries which have specified the NEMAstandards. https://www.sfcable.com/
