Which side of an extension cord is hot how can you tell the difference?

If you are constructing an extension cord make sure that the ends go on the right end of the cable. Match the wire end when looking at it, to the proper pin configuration of the plug. A non locking plug will be a 6-30P or a locking plug will be a L6-30P. On a 6-30P plug, black wire to the left blade (brass in colour), white wire to the Y terminal (silver in colour) and the green wire to the G terminal (green in colour). On a L6-30P plug, black wire to the X terminal, white wire to the Y terminal and the ground wire to the G terminal.Looking at the end of the cable it should be matched to this configuration. If it doesn't look at the other end of the cable. No wires should cross when connecting to the blades on the plug, if they do you have the wrong end of the cable.
