Can you put an extension cord on a treadmill 20 amp?
Make sure the wire size of extension cord is AWG 12 or AWG 10. Also circuit must support the 20A at main panel. Standard household extension cords are usually AWG 14 which are not sufficient to carry 20A.
What is the best extension cord to plug in cars for winter?
The best extension cord is a short one so that voltage drop does not occur. The cord should be able to reach the supply receptacle and be just long enough to reach the car. Do not use a 50 foot cord and roll it up if the vehicle is just 10 feet away. This cord should have a wire size so that is can handle the load of the block heater. A #12 AWG extension cord will handle a 200 watt block heater very nicely.
Which size fuse should be used with a No 18 AWG extension cord where only two conductors are carrying current?
The protective device should be rated not more than 10 Amperes and be able to withstand a 1000Ampere short circuit.
How much copper by weight is in one 50ft 20 amp extension cord?
depends on the wire gauge and strand type sold strand 12 AWG wire is 50.57 feet per pound. most extension cords however are not solid strand, they are multistrand line which allows for flexibility and breakage. standard size is 28 AWG, 2067 feet per pound. 7 strand 12-3 line gives you 1050 feet of 28 AWG or ~$2 worth of copper if its clean and bare, less if it still in its insulator or if the insulator is burned off.
7000 watt generator with 30 amp connection How long of a Gen power cord can you use with a 4 prong 30 amp cord to hook into your transfer panel Is 50 ft ok?
Yes, 50 ft is ok provided you are using the correct AWG. You can do the following lengths for 30 Amps with a 7000 watt load - AWG - 4 = 300 ft AWG - 6 = 175 ft AWG - 8 = 100 ft AWG - 10 = 75 ft
What wire size is needed for 60 gallon hot water tank?
10 awg
Does the number of electric circuits carry more or lees if the AWG go up?
"AWG" in the neighborhood of electrical stuff stands for "American Wire Guage". That's just a standard set of numbers to represent the thickness of wire, used for about the past 150 years. A higher AWG number means thinner wire. If it refers to the wire in the house wiring or the extension cord you're using, then a higher AWG number means that it can deliver less power to outlets or devices than larger wire could. The number of circuits isn't the limiting criterion. The total amount of power supplied to them is.
If your electric lawn mower directions call for a 50 ft ext cord and you use a 100 ft cord what will happen?
Not true, If the motor runs fine on the power cord usually # 14 AWG, good for 15 amps, But a longer cord will usually starve the motor for power, which will make the motor heat up due to the low voltage at the motor, which will litterly burn up the motor, if using a longer cord make it a # 12 AWG, good for 20 amps.
Which cable types resembles a lamp cord?
It is a parallel pair.
What size wire for a welding extension cord 220v 50 amps?
Wire size depends on amps. Use #10 for 30a. #8 for 40 or 50a. #6 for 60a.
What is the minimum acceptable wire size for ground conductors in power cords for power cord lengths less than 15 feet in length?
Its 16 AWG
Which is larger in diameter12 AWG or 15 AWG wire?
12 awg is larger.
