Electrical Cords
An electrical cord is a flexible and insulated cable, having a plug either at one or both ends and helps to connect an electrical device with a source of electricity. There is a wide variety of electrical cords available in the market in varying lengths and thickness for carrying specific electrical load.

Types
There are different types of Electric cord manufactured all over the world in different sizes and lengths. Some of them are:
• Extension cords
• AC Power cords
• DC power cords
Electric Cord Applications
These cords are used in different applications including:
• Home appliances
• Computers
• Electronic gadgets and devices
• Electric tools
• Printers

Switchgears
Switchgear are a type of electrical distribution devices used for converting incoming electrical power into several smaller circuits. They are also used for providing overload protection in the form of fuses or circuit breakers. The term is also used for both de-energizing equipment to allow work to be done and for clearing faults downstream. Switchgear vary in different parameters including number of panels, mounting style, and electrical specifications.


Types
Switchgear can be of different types including:
• A simple open air circuit breaker
• Gas insulated switchgear (GIS)
• Oil insulated switchgear
• Vacuum circuit breakers

Switchgear Locations
These electrical distribution devices can be anywhere that isolation and protection may be required. These include generators, transformers, substations, motors, and high or medium voltage distribution networks. Different types of switchgear are often used by the power utility as protection against line to ground, phase to phase, or line to neutral faults. They are also used for heavy industry purposes.

Fuse and Circuit Breakers
A fuse contains a metallic element, which melts if the current exceeds a specific amperage. Circuit breaker is a mechanical switching device, which breaks currents under specific, abnormal circuit conditions.

Applications
Switchgears are used in diverse applications and industries. Some of them are: For example, some devices are used to
• Power lighting systems
• UPS
• Inverter applications
Other Types
• Circuit Breakers
• Electrical Fuse
• Electrical Relays
• Electrical Switches


Electrical Wires
Electrical wire is a group of metallic conductors. They are used to carry electrical power from one place to other, from manufacturing unit to the consuming unit. They are used in each and every field where electricity is used either on small scale or on large scale. They have become so important that without their use we can't spend one hour. Electrical wires are of different types based on their uses like high voltage power cables which are used to carry electricity from one place to other, low voltage cables which are generally used in house wiring, control cables etc. Different types of electrical wires are used for different electrical appliances like electric motors, refrigerators, fans, bulbs etc.

There are various types of electrical wires in the market which we use in our daily life. All the wires are made of a conductor generally aluminum or copper and an insulation covering the conductor. The conductors used in them may be solid or stranded. The insulation material is made of some kind of plastic or rubber. We use different types of electric wires for different purposes like braided wires, fuse wires, shielded wires etc. Here is given a list of wires which are generally used by us.

General Properties of Electrical Wires:
• They are made of a conductor and an insulation.
• They are good conductors of electricity.
• They are flexible as well as strong.
Use of Electrical Wires:
There is not a single field or industry where electrical wires aren't used. They are used for the functioning and running of a number of machines and devices. Here is the list of some important industries where they are used:
• Electrical and Electronics Industry
• Telecommunication Industry
• IT Industry
• Transport Industry
• Metal Industry
• Automobile Industry
• Heavy Machinery Industry
