It is true that the rated insulation on the 2' extension is 600 volts, the short extension is relatively In addition to the amp rating, it should be noted that there are You may want to go to a 10/3 100' extension if you are going to draw 15 AMPS pass 50'. It is possible to trip a breaker if it draws more than 15 AMPS from everything attached to it. In order to draw what is required, the wire needs to be thicker with a longer extension, otherwise it may get hot from the power draw. Here are some suggestions to help you. Find out the electrical rating for extension cords online based on their length and amperage by visiting an online retailer.

Most of the time I use it outdoors, but the plug ends are not waterproof. Despite the water-resistant casing around the wires, it appears to be susceptible to wind and rain.
What you are asking is unclear, and I am unable to fully understand exactly what you want. You may want to try a different way of answering your own question, so I will try Adding both loads by adding the watts together and taking that number and dividing by the voltage (i.e. Voltage 120 volts). If you do this, you will be able to determine your Using an example, we can say If a 1500 watt microwave and a 750 watt fridge operate together, they add up to 2250 watts divided by 120volts. Approximately 75 amps. It is very likely that a 20 amp circuit has enough amperage to handle that load even if both are running simultaneously. The only problem occurs when you start up the fridge's compressor, which could use three or four times the running amps for a few minutes. - If any of the loads are expected to run continuously, as determined by NEC standards, that means for periods greater than three hours If you multiply a load by 120%, you will get a larger load. The continuous load is lighting, possibly resistive heating, and so on. It is uncommon for refrigerators to be continuously loaded (during summer). Once the continuous loads have been multiplied by 120%, the calculation is the same as shown The 20 amp breakers serve 20 amp circuitry, which has a duty rating of 16 amps (16 amps * 120 volts) or 1920 watts. The load it can handle at any given time would represent the continuous load it can handle. In a similar circuit, up to 2400 watts can be intermittently handled. A full explanation of Ohm's Law can be found online by searching the web. In AC circuits, Ohm's Law applies only loosely, but you can make the calculations you need using it. ***FYI *** Here's what you need to know On the whole There is no upper limit to the ampacity of conductors 12awg Conductors rated at 14AWG for continuous duty are rated at 15amps non-inductive Continually strive for excellence. Simply multiply the amps by 80% to calculate the continuous duty capacity of these circuits. In each case, we are talking about 16amps/12amps. I hope that helps, and always remember to stay safe.

While I do not understand what the logic behind the design of today's three- way female connectors is, it seems most of them are no longer using the traditional full width spring loaded strips that engage the male prongs fully from all However, these tiny-sized mobile phones are now being used instead These are tiny, tiny contact strips that measure 1mm wide. Although it works (for a while), this is actually a 12/3 cord designed to handle 1875 watts or 15 amps. If a 1mm wide strip of metal is supposed to make good contact with that much power, it's a lot of power, especially as the cord is aging and the sockets become looser with There is no wonder to me why I see so many complaints in the reviews of the connectors burning up or melting after a year or so of ownership, even after the connectors have been inserted, disconnected, and reinserted multiple The tiny contact areas inside each female connector are no wonder why electrical arcing eventually occurs, which results in the connector being destroyed and plastic melting, and thus an electrical fire occurring. Interesting enough, while the hot and neutral connections use these tiny contact strips, the ground connection has just as many contact points! I don't know about you, but I think this is designed to be easy to assemble offshore to reduce manufacturing cost, and not to ensure a reliable connection over years and years of hard use. There is a possibility of a disaster waiting to happen with this plug at 1800 watts. I recommend looking for a product with receptacles that are designed and manufactured The 12/3 cords that utilize a traditional power block or power strip cost more but remain traditional in design at the female plug end. It is also possible to use traditional cords with a single female A fire caused by electricity can be lethal, so look carefully before you buy. The 12/3 cord with the full metal power strip from Lowes is what I was looking for and I'm glad I decided to pay more for it.
I strongly recommend that you do not purchase. Three months after being installed, the unit spontaneously self-destructed. On at least one neon light lead, there is some charring observed across all three outlets, usually on buss bars. We applied power over a GFCI circuit, but there were no loads A hole in each outlet opened toward the ground about two feet above ground. The unit was located outdoors. While we were out of town, this happened during a stormy period, and when we got home, this was waiting for us. In addition to the GFCI, the 15A breaker was also open. We have a two stage two stage Josyln surge protector throughout the house, which ensures that there is no overvoltage. Fluke meter indicates a short between line and neutral cable. My former employer installed an identical unit on the same circuit with no issues. I wrote their power engineering group contact page and requested they send me an address for sending the unit for failure analysis, as this is often the first step in identifying and correcting root causes that cause these issues. There has been no response yet, so maybe this will get their attention, as I believe that the root cause needs to be investigated, since these units are sold at many big box stores as well. I would advise against purchasing until the manufacturer publishes an analysis of the failure and follow-up measures.
I woke up in the middle of the night to find that it was on fire and I could have lost our entire fence and house in the act. For those of you who are interested. Upon plugging into the unit, we had only two led spot lights plugged in and on. After almost 2 years, we again did not experience any problems. I advise you not to.
A failure to include instructions and lack of functionality make this product ineffective.

If you have a Yellow Jacket 12/3 15-inch, then this is the perfect mate for you These contractor extension cords are always handy in my car and wherever I have to use them. *In most cases, you can buy whatever length you want 12/3 15- 18 You will need an amp cord to use this 2-in-1 You can purchase a cord designed with a foot splitter for less than the price of a cord made with a The bold product description is accurate, and the rugged design is impressive. However well I prepare a job, I will require more power regardless of how well I planned the approach. The reason likely can be traced back to the very beginning of time. Up until the point at which the job is completed, the need for one more tool on site is a given right up until the point at which the cleanup A new tool requires more power and a new plug, so I'll need to purchase them both
You will find two copies of this document This luxury can be had for a reasonable price with the foot lighted power block. The power supply amps and voltage you require, as well as how much you are losing through the cord, should be known before you begin your work. No matter the budget, the time frame, the materials, equipment or power needed for a job, always plan for overruns and more than you think is needed. I assure you that you will not be disappointed. When you are working in a medium-sized company If you use a #14 gauge extension cord with a 15A rating, you will lose nine volts. The 1V or 7 method will work. *In an electrical installation of heavy-duty equipment, 100 feet of cable will deliver 6% of the power. The point is, if you use a stiffer extension cord like this Yellow Jacket with #12 gauge wire with 15A rating, you will only lose 5 volts. If you are using 7V or 4, then use 7V. It takes 100 feet of cord to lose 8% of your power. A 100-foot cord with a gauge size of 12 and an amp of 20 will drop voltage directly proportional to its length. Cords with 50 feet have a voltage drop of twice that of cords with feet There are 50 feet of cord. As a result, the voltage drops of a 25-foot cable are twice as great As always, more power to you, I encourage you to use a cord that is at least 10 feet long. The longer the cord, the more voltage is lost.
The recommendation is not to do so. When we went to set up our outdoor Christmas lights this year, it made a huge impact! It may have been outside for a month last year, but this year it really popped! Those two things spark each other. The housing of one of the outlets has been left with a black residue after shorting occurred. It is obvious that we cannot use it in the current It was a very disappointing experience.
