AC WORKS® Connector — Receptacle

In the world of electrical connections, there are quite a few plugs and outlets that look very similar to each other.  In the past, we have discussed differences in locking plugs and outlets most often associated with generators, and the differences with the outlet and plugs you can find in your home. There is another set that looks a little similar but serves very different purposes. This set is the NEMA 6-50 and NEMA TT-30. The confusion usually starts because of the number of prongs each has and the way they are set up. As you can see, they both...

This week Chris talked a little bit further on the topic of Power Distribution Units (PDU) in the AC WORKS® Wisdom video, which I have shared here.  People can use PDUs for all sorts of different things. We can use a couple of different AC WORKS® brand adapters to get power from a higher-powered outlet, such as a dryer outlet or range outlet. By doing so, we can power our high power heaters, fans, dehumidifiers, and other tools, depending on the job.  Some of our adapters such as AD1450L1430, AD1430L1430, S10301430-018, L1430F520-025, S1430F520-018, and S1450F520-018 will all give you the ability to...

AC WORKS® brand flexible adapters are longer than the compact adapters we highlighted last week.  Our flexible adapters range from 1 foot to 1.5 feet in length, depending on the configuration.  The added length given in the design of our flexible adapter collection allows for a more flexible reach, which is where the name came from.  Using flexible adapters make it easier to fit your adapter in some areas with difficult reach.  They will maneuver to all angles so you will never be without power.  The flexible adapter line is perfect when you need just a little extra length for a difficult reach but...
