GFCI Power Cords
Stop electric shocks before they happen—these cords cut power to equipment when they detect an unsafe current. Once the surge has passed, an automatic reset resumes the flow of power. These SJTW cords have insulation that protects them from water, so they’re safe to use in outdoor charging stations and other wet areas. To help it fit behind machinery and in other tight spaces, the plug has a 90° elbow that sits flush against outlets. Hardwire the other end to your equipment or attach an electrical connector to make your own GFCI-protected extension cord.

Safety Start-Up Power Cords
After shutting off power to equipment during a power failure, these cords must be manually reset, preventing unexpected equipment start-up. Use them to replace three-wire power cords on equipment driven by small single-phase motors. The industry designation is SJTO, so the insulation resists oil.
