This is a hard-wired unit; it does not include a power cord.
I had to supply the power chord. I just used an existing 3 wire (must have ground) extension cord, cut in half. It comes with the temperature sensor.
It comes with only the sensor. You have to buy a three wire power cord ($8 at Lowe's for 6ft), and splice it in. I found exact directins on the internet for this very problem.
No power cords are included, just the sensor cable. Go to Home Depot or Lowe's and purchase a 3-6ft extension cord (3 prong) and a 1/2" knockout wire clamp. The install is pretty easy, just be sure you understand the wiring diagram for the 120V installation.
Just the temperature sensor. Wiring is easy. I used a Contractor grade 15ft,14AWG extension cord (15 A rated). I cut it in half and wired it up with the female end going to the kegerator and the male end going to the outlet. The extension cord is better than the actual cord coming out of the kegerator.
It means that you need to cut off power to the unit and then turn it back on.
This control has a SPDT dry contact relay. It will not "fry" a motor provided the contact rating is not exceeded. Keep in mind that any electrical motor can be "fried" if it is wired incorrectly.
According to the manufacturer, the total watts this thermostat can control is 1920 watts.
It's in the technical specifications, page 8 of the instructions. Power (Watts) is voltage (Volts) multiplied by current (Amps). If wired for 120VAC it's 696W If using the normally close contacts 1920W If using the normally open contacts
