Extension cords
Extension cords are designed to connect electrical appliances in places where a wall outlet is not close enough or where extra length is needed in the work area. They are essential in home workspaces, garages, construction sites, and professional workshops where device-based movement is a daily occurrence. An extension cord allows you to conveniently move the power source to the desired location, while maintaining electrical safety and connection reliability.
The design of the cable depends on the environment of use — flexible PVC-coated cables are usually used indoors, while solutions with stronger insulation or rubber cables are used outdoors and in more difficult conditions. The cross-section of the cable is important, the choice of which depends on the current consumption and the power of the devices to be connected. The length of the extension cable affects the voltage drop, so the total length and load of the cable must also be taken into account when choosing.
Extension cord plugs and sockets must meet electrical safety requirements, ensure a secure contact, and withstand moisture or mechanical impact if necessary. They are used to create both temporary and more permanent solutions in situations where electrical connections need to be flexible and mobile.
