Gents,
I'm having a discussion with one of my fellow Engineers.....
The scenario is that we have a UK built product destined for a US (educational) Customer. The device is intended to run HOT-HOT from a 208-240V supply (it requires around 10A and isn't frequency dependant). It is proposed to fit a 3 conductor cord (HOT, HOT, Ground. No Neutral required).
Our buying department has not been able to source a suitable cord, so the suggestion is to use a grey/green/black cord & to oversleeve the grey conductor in red at each end to make the cord Red/Black/Green.
My question is : Will this fly?
(I seem to remember that our UK regs require a flexible cord to be identified through-out its length so this precludes the practice of oversleeving)
Your comments greatly appreciated.
