I need a cord to replace my old Black & Decker Iron rated at 1100W. The old wire stated AWG 18/2. Would this work w/o running too hot?

My iron is rated at same watts and do fast the came is working fine without getting hot.

Yes, it would work. 16 gauge wire is thicker than 18 gauge; so, it is better for higher current (like your 1,100 watt iron).

Worked great. It's a thicker gauge than the 18/2 so it will actually handle higher wattage with less heat

the 16/2 cord is a heavier cord than the 18/2. It is rated higher. It will easily handle 1500W.

It's 120V, 88 watts, so if you are running on 220-240V, then you will definitely need a transformer. Try one of the dual voltage curling irons - this one will melt down.

not sure about that but mine broke after only a couple months . The cord was so hot that the house smelled like something was on fire. It worked well for order but looks cheap and did not last.

I bought the cord for a hot plate and it did not fit.I do not know the answer to yourquestion but if it fits i think it will be okay.

According to the AWG chart, 2 guage wire is good for up to 181 amps. Here's the link to the chart. For your specific application you should consult an electrician. http://www.powerstream.com/Wire_Size.htm

Awg is american wire gauge. Find a good 100ft OUTDOOR extension cord and you should be ok

It's configured for USA 120v power applications...being 18 AWG limits it to 10 amps...and I wouldn't do that for long or if the cord gets too warm..

I used this on my craftsman 100 table saw. I didn't rewire it I just plugged in my motor cord into this unit.

I am using a heavy gauge wire( 12 gauge ) It is heavy, but it ill supply sufficient electricity to the mower and the motor will not burn out.There are a few manufacturers listed on the Amazon site. I am personally using the cords manufactured by " US Wire and Cable" BUT that is strictly my preference since I am also using those same cords for my snow blower. Hope this helps

Since it is a resistive element, good copper wire can be used. The longer the wire, or the smaller the wire, the higher it's resistance value. I don't recall the wire gauge I used, but for accuracy, I wouldn't recommend lower than 18AWG. Remember; the unit cannot be more than 200 feet from the thermostat.

If the iron is listed as 110-240 volt, all you should need is an adapter plug to go from the US pattern to the UK plug. No transformer should be needed.

The power cord is 14 gauge(AWG), heavy duty. I have mine plugged into a 20amp circuit. It's setup to power 4 computers plus accessories. It should be adequate to run any devices designed to run on standard house current (15A, 125VAC).

I've got a 50ft heavy extention cord run out. I would not use a light weight household type cord though. -0 temperatures and product has worked fine.

Check your transformer on your curling iron, most of them now come with a variable transformer 110-240 if so you may not need this item just an adapter.

Not sure what the wattage is. I had one that I bought a couple of years ago and was trying to find the same iron. I didn't care for this iron like the one that I did have so I sent it back. Sorry.

check the wattage on your flat iron. If it's over 200 W, then definitely not, and even if it's approaching 200W I'd be wary of using it for more than a couple minutes at a time. That being said, if it's like 150W or lower, you're probably fine, and if you're closer but not over you're probably still okay as long as you exercise some caution. My experience is, if it overstresses the converter, it trips some thermal switch that just shuts down the device. Once it cools, it'll be good to go again.

Hi, When I searched the part number E56293 10A 125V online, this replacement cord came up (hopefully the link works for you). You will need the 3 prong cord. I have not tried the cord of course, so can't say for sure if it will work for you. http://www.ebay.com/itm/6ft-14-AWG-3-Prong-AC-PC-Power-Adapter-to-Power-Cord-Cable-Socket-Blk-15A-125V/161284327404?_trksid=p2054897.c100204.m3164&_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIC.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20140407115239%26meid%3D54b0c0e1cf03475fbc1ec0939f51acaf%26pid%3D100204%26rk%3D2%26rkt%3D30%26sd%3D200754589652 Hope that helped!
