Some of the most common standards for power connection cables

A power connection cable, also known as a power cord, is a cable used to connect an electrical appliance or device to a power source. The cable typically has two ends: one end plugs into an electrical outlet or power strip, while the other end connects to the appliance or device.

Power connection cables come in various lengths, materials, and types of plugs, depending on the country's electrical system and the device's power requirements.Power connection cables typically have to meet certain standards to ensure safety and reliability. Here are some of the most common standards for power connection cables:

    National Electrical Code (NEC): This is a set of regulations developed by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) in the United States. It sets minimum safety standards for electrical installations, including power connection cables.

    International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC): This is an international standard-setting organization that develops standards for a wide range of electrical and electronic technologies, including power connection cables.

    Underwriters Laboratories (UL): This is an independent safety testing and certification organization based in the United States. UL has developed a number of standards for power cables, including those used in data centers and other critical applications.

    European Norms (EN): These are a series of European standards that specify safety requirements for a wide range of products, including power cables. The EN standards cover both low voltage and high voltage power cables.

    Canadian Standards Association (CSA): This is a Canadian organization that develops standards for a variety of products, including power cables. CSA standards are similar to those developed by UL in the United States.

    Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE): This is a professional organization that develops standards for a wide range of technologies, including power cables. The IEEE standards cover everything from low voltage cables to high voltage transmission lines.
