Features And Functions Of European Standard Power Cords

The European standard power cord is characterized by two round ends, which are used in Germany, France, the Netherlands, Denmark, Finland, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Austria, Belgium, Hungary, Spain, Sweden, and other EU countries, as well as South Korea, Russia, and other countries.

Power cords are wires that carry electrical current. Usually, the way of current transmission is the point-to-point transmission. Power cords can be divided into AC power cords and DC power cords according to their uses. Usually, AC power cords pass through high-voltage alternating current wires. Due to the high voltage, such wires require a unified standard to obtain safety certification before they can be officially produced. The DC line basically passes direct current with a lower voltage, so the safety requirements are not as strict as the AC line, but for safety reasons, countries still require unified safety certification.

What are the functions of the European standard power cord:

The European standard power cord is mainly composed of an outer sheath, an inner sheath, and a conductor. The common transmission conductors are copper core and aluminum core. Although the aluminum core has a high safety factor, its electrical conductivity is relatively weak. Now our commonly used transmission medium. Its function is reflected in the characteristics of anti-interference of natural light, good winding performance, and environmental protection of materials. The European standard power cord can prevent any leakage of copper wire and air, and the unique three-way plug has the function of grounding protection, avoiding leakage accidents. And the insulating sheath also looks beautiful.

European standard power cords must be stabilized in practical applications to improve thermal and light stability. The power cord can be divided into two types: fixed type and split type. The difference is that the fixed type is directly fixed inside the electrical appliance, while the split type is different. It can randomly select the contact of the input socket, so that the resistance of the cable is enough. small, the conductivity is greatly increased. The role of the European standard power cord can reduce the high-frequency noise caused by the vibration of the wire because some wires are very noisy during high-voltage transmission.
