An indoor extension cord is usually made from the same material that your lamp cords are made from. An outside cord has an outer jacket that is usually round in shape and has the electrical data printed on the length of the cord.

How can you tell what gauge your wire is?

Most good approved extension cords will have the data printed on the outside of the cable. It might look like 3/16, 3 conductor # 16 wire. The better cords and construction cords will be rated at 3/14 and 3/12 in that order.


Which side of an extension cord is hot how can you tell the difference?

If you are constructing an extension cord make sure that the ends go on the right end of the cable. Match the wire end when looking at it, to the proper pin configuration of the plug. A non locking plug will be a 6-30P or a locking plug will be a L6-30P. On a 6-30P plug, black wire to the left blade (brass in colour), white wire to the Y terminal (silver in colour) and the green wire to the G terminal (green in colour). On a L6-30P plug, black wire to the X terminal, white wire to the Y terminal and the ground wire to the G terminal.Looking at the end of the cable it should be matched to this configuration. If it doesn't look at the other end of the cable. No wires should cross when connecting to the blades on the plug, if they do you have the wrong end of the cable.

How much power can I pull through an extension cord, and how long can a chain of them be?

For some reason, UL (the group which evaluates the safety of electrical products) says that you shouldn't daisy-chain multiple power strips, and that you shouldn't plug a power strip into an extension cord. Any instructions that came with your power strip would probably tell you the same thing.

Why can fetal cardiac dysrhythmia be treated with medication given to the mother?

Because whatever the mother puts in her body will be transferred over to the baby. The umbilical cord is like an extension cord dining from the mother to the baby transferring blood oxygen and sustenance. So when the mother takes the drugs they enter her blood stream and will be pumped to the baby through the umbilical cord. This is the same reason you should not smoke drink alcohol or take drugs your doctor does not tell you to take.
