Home and Daily Use
Powering Standard Home Appliances: Large appliances such as refrigerators, air conditioners, and televisions utilize 10A/16A National Standard (GB) three-core power cords to ensure stable 220V AC power transmission.
Low-Power Appliance Compatibility: Low-power devices like desk lamps, mobile phone chargers, and humidifiers typically use two-pin power cords, allowing for safe operation without the need for a grounding connection.
High-Power Equipment Requirements: Appliances exceeding 1500W-such as electric kettles, microwave ovens, and electric water heaters-require 16A high-current power cords with a conductor cross-sectional area of ≥1.0mm² to prevent overheating risks.
Office and Digital Environments
Desktop Equipment Power: Devices such as computer towers, monitors, and printers commonly use AC power cords with IEC 60320 "C13" (triangular/cloverleaf-style) connectors, ensuring stable, simultaneous operation for multiple units.
IT Server Rooms and Data Centers:Server racks utilize C13/C14 specification power cords rated at 250V/10A to meet the demands of continuous, 24/7 power supply.
Portable Digital Accessories:Devices such as laptop power adapters, routers, and set-top boxes use DC power cords; the common 5.5mm × 2.1mm connector interface supports 12V/2A DC input.
