Can an extension cord be used if it has a cut in it?
If the cuts depth is just the outer protective covering just tape it with electrical tape and you will be fine. If the cut penetrates the insulation of the underlying conductors on the green or white wire, tape the cut and then tape the outer layer of the protective covering. If the cut penetrates the black wire then it is best to get rid of the cord. If the cut is close to the end on a longer extension cord, cut the end off where the cut is and get a new end from a DIY store. Remember white wire on silver screw, black wire on brass screw and green wire on green screw. Do not use the cord with the cut uninsulated as this could lead to a dangerous situation especially if the cord is used in a damp or wet location.
