Abstract
PVC insulated flexible cords are widely used as power cord sets in household electric appliances for low voltage. In this paper, we studied the thermal characteristics of power cord sets according to poor contacts between a receptacle and plug pins. In the results of experiments, poor contacts generated heat and ignited the combustibles. And the heat was transmitted to the plug body. While poor contacts were continuing, the electrical waveforms changed. Electrical accidents could be prevented by analyzing these waveforms.
