with a 30-ampere, 208Y/120-volt or
125/250-volt receptacle, in accordance with
626.24(B)(2), shall use a listed 30-ampere main power-
supply cable assembly.

(B) Power-Supply Cord.

(1) Conductors. The cord shall be a listed type with three or four conductors, for single-phase connection, one conductor of which shall be identified in accordance with 400.23.

Exception: It shall be permitted to use a separate listed three-conductor separable power-supply cable assembly, one conductor of which shall be identified in accordance with 400.23 and rated 15 amperes, 125 volts for connection to an engine block heater for existing vehicles.

(2) Cord. Extra-hard usage flexible cords and cables rated not less than 90°C (194°F), 600 volts; listed for both wet locations and sunlight resistance; and having an outer jacket rated to be resistant to temperature extremes, oil, gasoline, ozone, abrasion, acids, and chemicals shall be permitted where flexibility is necessary between the electrified truck parking space supply equipment, the panel board and flanged surface inlet(s) on the truck.

Exception: Cords for the separable power supply cable assembly for 15- and 20-ampere connections shall be permitted to be a hard service type.

(3) Cord Overall Length. The exposed cord length shall be measured from the face of the attachment plug to the point of entrance to the truck or the face of the flanged surface inlet or to the point where the cord enters the truck. The overall length of the cable shall not exceed 7.5 m (25 ft) unless equipped with a cable management system that is listed as suitable for the purpose.

(4) Attachment Plug. The attachment plug(s) shall be listed, by itself or as part of a cord set, for the purpose and shall be molded to or installed on the flexible cord so that it is secured tightly to the cord at the point where the cord enters the attachment plug. If a right- angle cap is used, the configuration shall be oriented so that the grounding member is farthest from the cord. Where a flexible cord is provided, the attachment plug shall comply with 250.138(A).

(a) Connection to a 20-Ampere Receptacle. A separable

power-supply cable assembly for connection to a truck
flanged surface inlet, rated at 20 amperes, shall have a
nonlocking-type attachment plug that shall be 2-pole,
3-wire grounding type rated 20 amperes, 125 volts and
intended for use with the 20-ampere, 125-volt
receptacle.

Exception: A separable power-supply cable assembly, rated 15 amperes, provided for the connection of an engine block heater, only, shall have an attachment plug that shall be 2-pole, 3-wire grounding type rated 15 amperes, 125 volts.

FPN: For nonlocking- and grounding-type 15- or 20- ampere plug and receptacle configurations, see ANSI/ NEMA WD6-2002, Standard for Dimensions of Attachment Plugs and Receptacles, Figure 5-15 or 5-20.

(b) Connection to a 30-Ampere Receptacle. A separable power-supply cable assembly for connection to a truck flanged surface inlet, rated at 30 amperes, shall have an attachment plug that shall be 3-pole, 4-wire grounding type rated 30-amperes, 208Y/120 volts or

125/250 volts, and intended for use with the receptacle in accordance with 626.24(B)(2). The
