Technical Advantages

Type G Power Cords feature a dedicated earth pin made of solid brass, dimensionally longer than line and neutral to ensure first-to-make and last-to-break grounding. This design maintains continuity with protective earth circuits, reducing the risk of floating voltages or chassis faults. 

The line, neutral, and earth pins of Type G Power Cords are constructed from nickel-plated brass, providing high insertion durability and oxidation resistance. Contact retention remains stable under repeated mating cycles and thermal expansion conditions.

Plug Housing Material Properties

The plug assembly of Type G Power Cords is manufactured from thermoset or polyamide material with flame retardant properties rated to 650°C glow wire tests. This ensures thermal stability and mechanical integrity under overload or elevated ambient temperatures. 

Type G Power Cords use harmonized cable types such as H05VV-F and H05RN-F, offering controlled dielectric strength, reduced conductor resistance, and Class 5 fine-stranded copper cores. The sheath material supports mechanical flexibility with resistance to oils and minor chemical exposure.

Having Doubts? Our FAQ

Check all our Frequently Asked Question

How does Frigate ensure dimensional accuracy of Type G plug pins across production batches?

Frigate uses automated CNC-controlled pin forming machines with in-line laser measurement systems. Each Type G Power Cord plug is checked for BS 1363-1 pin tolerance of ±0.1 mm. Pin offset, length, and flatness are verified during 100% final inspection. This ensures stable mechanical fit and consistent contact pressure. 

 

What insulation material does Frigate use for Type G Power Cords in high-temperature environments?

Frigate uses thermoset or polyamide plug housings tested for glow wire compliance at 650°C. Cable jackets are selected from H05RN-F for rubber flexibility and thermal stability up to 85°C. This allows safe use in environments with elevated ambient temperature or heat-generating equipment. All insulation materials pass IEC 60335-1 flammability and breakdown tests.

How does Frigate validate the fuse performance in Type G Power Cords under short circuit conditions?

Frigate installs BS 1362 fuses and conducts high-current pulse testing for validation. The fuse chamber is designed to safely contain arc flash using ceramic insulation. Fuse links are calibrated to rupture within rated I²t parameters. Post-test thermal scans confirm no plug deformation or loss of insulation resistance. 

What grounding tests are performed by Frigate for Type G Power Cords?

Frigate performs ground continuity tests using a 25A DC injection and measures voltage drop across the earth path. The resistance must remain below 0.1 ohms. Ground pin engagement depth and alignment are also mechanically verified. This ensures safety in Class I equipment applications with metal chassis.

How does Frigate ensure long-term contact performance in Type G plug connections?

Frigate uses nickel-plated brass pins with surface roughness below Ra 0.8 µm to minimize oxidation. Contact force is validated using mechanical mating rigs simulating 10,000 insertion cycles. Electrical resistance is checked periodically to ensure stability under wear. This ensures low power loss and minimal heating at contact points.
