Frequently Asked Question
-
Is it better to use a 12 gauge extension cord instead of a 14 gauge extension cord?
The 14 gauge cord can handle 11-13 amps over 100 feet, whereas the 12 gauge cord can handle 14-15 amps. If your line is 150 feet long, the 14 gauge will handle 1-7 amps, while the 12 gauge can handle 8-10 amps. This demonstrates that the length of an extension cord affects the amount of power it can safely assist. -
What should never be plugged into a power outlet?
If the power strip or extension cord feels warm to the touch, it is likely overloaded and could catch fire. Rule two: never use power strips or extension cords to plug in high-capacity equipment. -
What is the purpose of a 14 gauge extension cord?
A 14-gauge cord is designed for medium to heavy-duty applications (lawnmowers, power drills, table saws, television sets, etc.). These cords are also ideal for power tools, electric chainsaws, leaf or snow blowers, and other similar items. They are capable of handling larger tools and equipment as well as heavier use. -
Is a 14 gauge extension cord OK for use with an air conditioner?
The minimum gauge for air conditioner extension cords is 14 gauge, which is considered medium load. The problematic thing about gauges is that lower- gauged extension cords can withstand more amps (yep, you read that correctly!) than higher-gauged extension cables. -
Is it possible to plug a freezer into an extension cord?
Because a freezer or refrigerator’s power cable has a ground connection, you’ll need a UL approved 3-wire grounding appliance extension cord and a grounded three-pin receptacle. -
Is it possible to connect a refrigerator to an extension cord?
The most significant risk of utilizing an extension cord to power a refrigerator is using the incorrect cord, which can result in the cord overheating, appliance damage, and an increased risk of fire or electric shock. Never plug a three-pronged appliance into an extension cable that isn’t grounded. -
Which is better: a 12-gauge extension cord or a 16-gauge extension cord?
Use a 16-gauge light-duty cord for blowers within 50 feet of an outlet. A 14-gauge medium-duty cord is recommended for larger Amps or longer distances from the outlet. If the cord is rated for outdoor usage, look for a “W” on the jacket. -
What is the thickest extension cord gauge?
The thinnest cord we recommend is 14 AWG, which we recommend for lengths of only 25 feet or less, while the thickest gauge you’ll find in an extension cord is likely 10 AWG. -
Is it better to use a 14 gauge extension cord or a 16 gauge extension cord?
Use a 16-gauge light-duty cord for blowers within 50 feet of an outlet. A 14-gauge medium-duty cord is recommended for larger Amps or longer distances from the outlet. If the cord is rated for outdoor usage, look for a “W” on the jacket. -
What is the difference between a 10 gauge and a 12 gauge extension cord?
Round down to the nearest tenth of a gauge. 12 gauge extension cords are sufficient for most devices. Lawnmowers and other high-powered machines require a lower gauge, such as 10AWG. Keep in mind that a lower gauge indicates a thicker cord.
