SAFE OPERATION PRACTICES
8. An extension cord must have adequate wire size (AWG or
American Wire Gauge) for safety. 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. An
undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting
in loss of power and overheating. When using more than
one extension to make up the total length, be sure each
individual extension contains at least the minimum wire size.
The following table shows the correct size to use depending
on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use
the next heavier gauge. The lower the gauge number, the
heavier the cord.
