Extension Cords
An extension cord must have adequate wire size (AWG or American Wire Gauge) for safety, and to prevent loss of performance. The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity of the cable; that is, 16 gauge has more capacity than 18 gauge. When using more than one extension cord to make up the total length, be sure each individual extension contains at least the minimum wire size. Before using an extension cord, inspect it for loose or exposed wires, damaged insulation and defective fittings. Make any needed repairs or replace the cord if necessary. To determine the minimum size required, refer to the chart below:
