How can I determine if it's time to replace my power cord or plug?
Kilns draw a substantial amount of amperage, which can lead to the wearing down of the power cord. Indications of wear include:
- The plug becoming warm or hot during kiln operation
- Discoloration or swelling of the plug head
- Presence of corrosion (green powdery substance) on the plug blades
Does the power cord include a plug and necessary hardware?
Absolutely! All power cords come pre-equipped with a plug head. Additionally, if required, the essential hardware for attaching the power cord to your kiln is provided.
What is a NEMA and how does it simplify things for me?
NEMA, short for National Electrical Manufacturers Association, establishes industry standards for companies producing electrical equipment like plugs and receptacles for electric kilns. The diagrams above illustrate the six most commonly used configurations for Skutt Kilns.
