cord caps,and bodies

[clayton]

what are the, accepted uses for cord, caps and bodies, as it seems like they aren't suited for extention cords.

prehaps just power cords for indoor equipment,

If not for extension cords then what is the intent of section 240.5(B)(3) "or in extension cords made with separately listed and installed components"?

Re: cord caps,and bodies

ok so one can make their own extension cord from seperatly listed and installed components,per 240.5(b)*(3)

this is what i was wondering.

thanks again for the direction to the code you guys.

since i work in an industrial plant it was interesting to note the section in 368.8 for connection to bussplugs thanks.
