Lamp cord is #18 in size and is rated for 10 amps. This type of wire is strictly for use on lamps only and not to be used for power wiring.

What resembles a lamp cord?

Given the proper lighting and locale, a snake may resemble a lamp cord.


What wires go to the x and y terminals of a 240 volt cord?

Need to know what the amp rating of the plug is, as there are different configurations for each amperage. Check out the chart on related links.


What is cooking range outlet?

It is a receptacle outlet wired into a home with the capacity to handle the amperage rating of the range. The cord on the range plugs into this receptacle to receive its power supply so that the range can operate.


Can you replace a 10 amp 125 volt extension cord with a 10 amp 250 volt extension cord?

Yes the rated voltage is a maximum. A 250 v cord might be slightly thicker than one for 125 v. <<>> The voltage rating of an electrical extension cord is the insulation factor of the cord. These cords come in two insulation ratings, 300 volts and 600 volts. If the voltage rating is within the parameters of the cord maximums then it is safe to use it on that voltage. The amperage of the cord is based on the wire size of the cord's conductor. The rating of 10 amps will fall within the #14 cord size. Remember the longer the cord the larger the wire size should be to prevent voltage drop at the connected load end.


5.1v is the Voltage, You need to also look at what the Amperage rating is on the charger. 500ma, 1000ma, etc. How many Milliamps?

Is amperage rating and running amperage the same thing?

Usually the current rating for a circuit is higher than the current usually taken. This leaves a little margin for safety.


Will a fuse of a higher amperage rating have a higher melting point link?

No, a fuse of a higher amperage rating will not usually have a higher melting point link. The higher amperage fuse will use a wider link or a link of larger diameter.

Difference between a lamp and a bulb?

Lamp have required high rating to glow & have a specific luminus area.exa-table lamp,florucent lamp,sodium vapur lamp,BUT but bulb have no required rating exa- halogin bulb


Why does the current change at an extension plug when connected to a lamp?

Are you saying that you plug in a lamp and another lamp on that extension cord goes dimmer? If so then the extension cord wire is of a smll guage size and causing a voltage drop from the outlet to the cord output.
