Minimum hardware 

• Desktop PSU / AC Power Supply Unit : to receive 250V AC mains input directly via the 2-pin open-ended leads.
• Mains Socket (6A/16A) : to supply 230V AC standard household power to the plug end.
• Wire Strippers & Heat Shrink Tubing : required to cleanly strip and safely insulate the open-ended leads when connecting to terminal blocks or internal power input terminals.

Safety Warnings

• High Voltage Danger: This cable carries dangerous 230V–250V AC mains voltage. Always disconnect the plug from the wall outlet before touching, stripping, or soldering open conductors.
• No Earth/Ground Conductor: This is a 2-core cable (Phase and Neutral only). Do NOT use this cable for equipment that strictly requires protective earth grounding (Class I metal-chassis appliances).
• Insulation Required: Ensure exposed wire terminations are secured inside screw terminal blocks or covered with double-layer heat shrink tubing to prevent accidental electric shock.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Is this 2-pin power cord compatible with standard Indian 230V wall sockets?
  Yes, the plug end is designed to fit standard 2-pin non-grounded AC wall sockets operating at 230V–250V AC.
  
• Can I use this power cord for high-power desktop power supplies?
  Yes, the heavy 14/38 pure copper gauge easily handles continuous loads for desktop PSUs and SMPS units drawing up to 6A–10A.
  
• Does this cord work with 3-pin desktop power supplies?
  No, this cable features a 2-core / 2-pin configuration without a protective earth ground lead; 3-pin devices requiring earth grounding need a 3-core cable.
  
• Can I use this cable with 110V AC power inputs?
  Yes, the copper conductor and PVC insulation are rated for up to 250V AC, making it suitable for both 110V and 230V AC applications.
• What is the maximum voltage rating for this power cord? This cable is insulated and rated for safe operation at up to 250V AC mains voltage.
  
• What is the current rating of the 14/38 heavy copper conductor?
  The heavy 14/38 copper strand construction supports continuous current delivery up to 6A–10A without dangerous resistance heat buildup.
  
• Will this power cable overheat under continuous 24/7 load? No, as long as your equipment's current draw remains within the rated capacity, the pure copper strands ensure minimal resistance and low heat generation.
• Why is my power supply not turning on after connecting this cord?
  Check that the wall socket is powered, verify secure terminal connections at the PSU, and test for continuity along both internal cores using a multimeter.
  
• What should I do if the bare copper ends feel loose in my terminal block?
  Crimp wire ferrules onto the exposed 14/38 copper strands or twist and tin them with solder to increase mechanical grip inside the terminal.
  
• Is it normal for the outer PVC sheath to feel slightly warm during heavy use?
  A slight rise in temperature is normal under high loads, but if the cable becomes hot to the touch, verify that your load current does not exceed rated limits.
  
• What happens if Phase and Neutral wires are swapped at the SMPS input?
  Most AC-to-DC power supplies feature non-polarized bridge rectifiers on the input side, so swapping Phase and Neutral will not damage the supply.
