North American standard plugs (with ground) Description:
North American standard plug according to NEMA 1-15,5-15,5-20,6-15,6 - 20P plug standards. In the U.S. American standard plug the middle two rows flat cylindrical grounded plug to accept NEMA (USA National Electrical Manufacturers Association) and UL certification of management. In Canada the standard plugs and sockets are CSA C22.2-42. Meet NEMA 5 - 15P plug the output style is also used in Mexico, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Central America, Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador and the west coast of South America, countries in the region. Power systems in developing countries is often not grounded. Socket Network does not recommend cutting off the ground pin, remove the safety ground is not safe. However, remedial measures can provide grounding wire, the electrical parameters of the North American standard plug: 2.5A-15A/125VAC.
UL and CSA approved plug. Can support a variety of sizes and types of cables, mainly for data transmission, such as power servers, computer data storage systems, networking equipment, industrial equipment. Standard 15A/125VAC most popular plug, high current 20A/250VAC with less. American standard power cord and plug in the injection molding of medical institutions in general will use, easy to install, there are special medical grade plug system. Side of the wire is set at the amount of current 10A IEC-60320 connectors. 15A/125VAC maximum output rating.
Equipment manufacturers require equipment controlled by the power cord UL and CSA standards. In order to coordinate with the IEC standards and UL specifications amendment changes in standards for information technology equipment. UL (60950 and CAN / CSA C22.2 No. 60950) and medical equipment standards (UL approved 60601 and CAN / CSA C22.2 No. 60601), UL 60950 certification and CAN / CSA C22.2-60950 joint statement, the power cord The ground wire must be color line that is green and yellow.
UL 60601 certified and CAN / CSA C22.2 No. 60601 requires grounding for the green / yellow, light blue zero line, line of fire to brown. There are indications that, UL and CSA shall not be rigid enforcement of these requirements. In both cases, we recommend the use of polar identify colors (brown, blue, green / yellow) color-coded cables, UL and CSA certification requirements to accept. Prior to this, some equipment manufacturers are able to distinguish between the North American power cord polarity color coding, that is, black, white, green, common international standards for color coding, that is, red, blue, green / yellow. Now, UL and CSA certification requirements for equipment manufacturers need to identify a unified standard power cord (FireWire - brown, neutral - blue, earth - green / yellow).
