1. Appliances with electrical cords should have polarized grounding-type plugs
-these plugs have one blade slightly larger than the other, meaning that it can be plugged into an outlet in only one orientation.
-this insures that parts of the appliance that could cause an electrical shock will be properly grounded
Appliances with polarized connectors should be used only with extension cords that also have polarized connectors.
2. New voluntary standards, including those from Underwriters Laboratories, require that extension cords be made from cable no smaller than 16 gauge.
-any extension cords of smaller gauge that 16 must be equipped with integral fusing
All extension cords from buyextensioncords.com meet these new standards.
