Electro 2 - Power Cable Replacement

Post by Dee23 »

Hi all,

I'm new to the Nord family and am looking to purchase a spare power cable for a Nord Electro 2 in Australia. The specs page lists IEC 320 C7 as the suggested cord, but I'm having trouble finding this exact model online.

Does anyone know what power cables (brands/models/numbers) are safe for me to use with Australian 220-240 voltage? I'm petrified that I'll buy the wrong sort and blow the fuse. :wtf:

Thanks in advance!

IEC 320 is the old standard (now called IEC 60320) for 'appliance couplers' for power supplies in household use. The C7 type is for use up to 250 V and 2.5 A, so if you get the correct type you should be fine.

Thanks Arjan! :clap:

Am I right in thinking that I can purchase the following C7 cable, with a three-prong pin connector? I've checked the Nord - it's set to 240 Volts, which this cable uses:

Thanks again,

Yes, but any normal hardware store should carry these cables at more like 1/3 the price.
