ZH-23A Power Supply Cord

Overview

The ZH-23A Power Supply Cord is a heavy-duty electrical solution designed specifically for North American markets, meeting the rigorous safety standards of UL 498 and CAN/CSA C22.2. Rated at 23A and 250V AC, this cord is engineered to handle power-hungry equipment, delivering consistent performance in industrial, commercial, and residential settings. With its triple-stranded oxygen-free copper conductors and rugged polyurethane (PU) sheath, the ZH-23A is built to withstand extreme conditions and heavy use.

Core Advantages of the ZH-23A Power Supply Cord

High Current Capacity for Power-Hungry Equipment

The ZH-23A’s high current capacity (up to 23A continuous load) makes it perfect for industrial machinery, welding equipment, and large-scale power distribution. Its 12AWG stranded copper conductors reduce skin effect and minimize power loss, even at peak loads, ensuring that heavy-duty tools and machinery receive the power they need to operate efficiently. This makes it a top choice for manufacturing plants and construction sites where reliable high-current power is non-negotiable.

Extreme Temperature Resistance for Harsh Environments

With an operating temperature range of -40°C to +125°C (and short-term peaks up to +150°C), the ZH-23A Power Supply Cord excels in extreme conditions. Its heat-resistant thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) insulation protects against both sub-zero cold and near-heat-source exposure, making it suitable for cold storage facilities, industrial furnaces, and outdoor winter job sites. This extreme temperature resistance eliminates downtime caused by cord failure due to temperature stress.

Heavy-Duty PU Sheath for Maximum Protection

The cord’s outer PU sheath is 30% thicker than standard PVC sheaths, offering superior abrasion resistance, impact protection, and resistance to oils, chemicals, and UV radiation. This heavy-duty design ensures the cord can withstand gravel, oil spills, and prolonged outdoor exposure—common in construction, automotive, and marine environments. The sheath also resists cuts and tears, extending the cord’s lifespan in high-wear settings.

Enhanced Flexibility and Safety Compliance

Stranded conductors and TPE insulation give the ZH-23A an impressive minimum bend radius of 6x the cable diameter, facilitating easy installation in tight mechanical spaces. Additionally, the cord features a triple grounding system and flame-retardant materials (certified to IEC 60332-1), meeting strict industrial safety protocols. Its UL listing (File No. E345678) allows use in Class I, Division 2 hazardous locations when properly grounded, ensuring safety in high-risk environments.

Practical Applications of the ZH-23A Power Cord

Industrial Machinery

Power CNC machines, presses, and conveyors in manufacturing plants with confidence. The ZH-23A’s resistance to vibration and harsh conditions ensures stable power supply, reducing equipment downtime and improving productivity. Its industrial power cord design is tailored to the demands of continuous operation in factory settings.

Construction Equipment

On job sites, the cord powers excavators, generators, and welding rigs with ease. Its PU sheath resists damage from debris, oil, and extreme weather, making it a durable construction equipment cable that stands up to the rigors of outdoor construction work.

Commercial Kitchens and Renewable Energy Systems

In commercial kitchens, the ZH-23A connects high-output appliances like deep fryers and steamers, where heat and grease resistance are critical. It also excels in renewable energy systems, such as solar farms and wind turbines, enduring UV exposure and temperature fluctuations to support reliable power distribution.
