Portable Cord: 3 Conductors, 18 AWG Wire Size, TPE, Yellow, 250 ft Lg

SEOW portable cord is a service cord with a flexible thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) jacket that is oil-, water-, and weather-resistant. The TPE material softens when heated then hardens when cooled. SEOW cord is more resistant to water than SOOW portable cord and can be used at lower temperatures, but it is less durable. It is often used to supply temporary power for industrial projects, construction tools, and other electrical equipment.

Portable cord is flexible, moveable electrical cable that consists of one or more insulated conductors enclosed in a jacket. It is typically used for temporary power connections. Portable cord can be exposed to constant flexing and harsh environmental conditions, including temperature extremes, oil, chemicals, and abrasive materials. There are multiple types of portable cord, as designated by industry standard letter codes that describe various attributes (temperature range, wire size) and ratings (voltage) and help ensure the best cord is selected for an application. Portable cord is commonly used for temporary wiring projects in industrial and commercial facilities, such as supplying power to portable tools, appliances, and equipment, as well as small motors and associated machinery. It does not include plugs on the ends of the cord.
