SV is a vacuum cleaner cord with two or three rubber-insulated conductors and an overall rubber jacket, for light duty in damp locations, rated 300 volts at 60 degrees C.
SV, described as vacuum cleaner cord, is a light-duty portable cord with two or three rubber-insulated conductors and an overall rubber jacket, rated at 300 volts and generally for 60 degrees C. It is intended for light-duty use, including in damp locations, where its rubber construction provides flexibility and moisture resistance. The optional third conductor allows for a ground where needed.
As a light-duty cord, SV serves small appliances and similar equipment rather than hard mechanical service. The rubber insulation and jacket support flexibility and resistance to moisture for these light applications, including damp environments.
In commercial and industrial settings, light-duty cords like SV serve small appliances and equipment in damp locations within their rating. Recognizing the designation is part of identifying cord suited to the application.
Because it is a light-duty cord, SV serves small appliances and similar equipment rather than hard mechanical service, with the rubber insulation and jacket supporting flexibility and resistance to moisture for these light applications, including damp environments.
At Windy City Wire, the focus on quality low-voltage cable and cord includes light-duty cord types like SV. Supplying cord with appropriate construction and ratings helps customers match products to light-duty power needs in commercial and industrial settings.
