Part Number: NL5-30/C19-12/3-125V/20A-SJT
12/3 AWG SJT Power Cord, NEMA L5-30 Male Plug to IEC60320 C19 Female Connector, 125V 20A
Power cord is the ideal solution for powering a network device or connecting to a PDU and Computer in a data rack or network wiring closet. Locking extension power cord NEMA L5-30 (Male) to IEC60320 C19 (Female) with SJT jacket, and the locking extension power cords are 125 volts and features 12/3 AWG conductor construction which adhere to North American Color Code (NACC). These locking plugs have the pins arrayed in a circular manner which can be inserted and twisted to lock in place. The fully molded design provides for maximum durability and long life.
Safety Three-Prong Device
Safety three-wire system:The three-wire system replaced the older two-wire system, which lacks an earth/ground wire. Under ordinary circumstances, insulation on the live/hot and neutral wires prevents the case from being directly in the circuit, so that the earth/ground wire may seem like double protection. an earth/ground connection is a low-
resistance path directly to the earth. The two earth/ground connections on the neutral wire force it to be at zero volts relative to the earth, The neutral wire is the return path for the current to follow to complete the circuit. Furthermore, the two earth/ground connections supply an alternative path through the earth, a good conductor, to complete the circuit. The live or hot wire(hereafter referred to as "live/hot") supplies voltage and current to operate the appliance and the standard three-prong plug can only be inserted in one way, to assure proper function of the three-wire system.

Select the Best Option for Your Application
There is a wide range of motor controls available that meet one of the two dominant standards: National Electrical Manufacturers’ Association (NEMA) ICS 2 and International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 60320. NEMA and IEC starters are both rated for 1 million electrical operations, and the UL testing is identical for each. When selecting components, many designers stop at the two main differences between NEMA and IEC, size and cost. So how should we make a choice?
| IEC versus NEMA | Making the Choice |
| IEC is usually less expensive | NEMA can better withstand overload |
|---|---|
| IEC takes up significantly less space | NEMA requires less precision in design |
| IEC starter includes single-phase detection | NEMA is better for applications with load uncertainties |
| IEC starter provides quicker detection of overload conditions | NEMA can more easily withstand short circuits |
| IEC is finger safe | NEMA is more rugged and can better withstand abuse |
Particularly when operating parameters are less well known, it may be cheaper to just use NEMA and forego the precise design required for IEC. The table lists the leading factors favoring IEC and NEMA. For most situations either IEC or NEMA may be employed, but IEC devices require more forethought and planning. If done correctly, IEC controls can pay big dividends and offer a competitive advantage.
Applications of IEC60 320 & NEMA Power Cords
