What is correct extension cord amp load for a 5500 volt generator?

For a 5500-watt generator, you should use an extension cord rated for at least 20 amps to safely handle the electrical load. Make sure the extension cord is in good condition and of the appropriate gauge to prevent overheating and ensure safe operation.


Does a long extension cord draw more power than a short extension cord?

No. However, a longer extension cord has higher resistance for a given wire gauge or size compared to a short extension cord and the voltage at the load device may drop so low that it doesn't work properly. This may also be accompanied by a noticeable rise in the temperature of the extension cord. As a rule, use the shortest extension cord that will get the job done. If the extension cord must be long, use one that has heavy gauge wire to minimize voltage drop at the load.


What size extension cord should you use for your 120 volt 1725 watt iron?

#16 <<>> To load an extension cord to 1725 watts depending on the length of the cord, the bare minimum should be #14. A better size cord and my recommendation would be a #12 wire size extension cord.


Does an extension cord use power if nothing is plugged into the other end?

If there is no load plugged into the cord there will be no power consumed. The only time the resistance of the cord will come into effect is when the circuit becomes energized through the load plugged into the end of the cord.


Can a microwave be plugged into an extension cord?

Yes, as long as the extension cord is rated for the load. Most microwave ovens use 1000W or more, some less. A standard two wire extension cord would be unsafe. There are, however, extension cords which have the proper gauge of wire and the necessary 3-prong outlets which a microwave would need to operate safely.

Why do the load extension graph passes through the origin?

The load extension graph passes through the origin because at the beginning of the test, there is no load applied, so the extension is zero. This is the starting point on the graph where load and extension are proportional to each other before any deformation occurs.
