About NEMA Power Cords

What are NEMA power cords and where are they used?

The National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) published the ANSI/NEMA WD 6 which specifies wiring devices utilized in North America. These power attachment devices have been thoughtfully engineered to prevent fire hazard and optimize usability. All buildings in North America use these configurations for power sources and can only be accessed with a matching NEMA Plug. Our power cables are built to the various NEMA standards and have all applicable approvals for the intended country of use.

Downgrading a NEMA device: plugging a 15 amp NEMA plug into a 20 amp outlet.

When the engineers at NEMA designed their configuration designs, they considered functionality and accessibility of the users. To increase usability of power sources, they designed some power sources in a way that a lesser rated plug can mate with the supply. For example, the NEMA 5-15P can plug into a NEMA 5-20R Outlet. This applies for the NEMA 6 Series as well, since this application has no electrical hazards, it was a thoughtful consideration of the designers of the configurations.
