These cords may only be used if their length does not exceed 2 m between the point where the cord or
cord guard enters the appliance and the entry to the plug.
b
Cords having the cross-sectional areas indicated in the parentheses may be used for portable
appliances if their length does not exceed 2 m.
NOTE: For supply cords supplied with multi-phase appliances, the nominal cross-sectional area of the
conductors is based on the maximum cross-sectional area of the conductors per phase at the
supply cord connection to the appliance terminals.
