I want to buy this for a 13.5 amp electric snowblower and i will be plugging it in to a 15 amp plug outside my house. Will this work?

Oh yeah easy. Its thick, I use it for my 15amp skil saw, jackhammer, & etc.

Yes this cord is the best cord you could use. It will carry all the power you need for any home tool on the market.It should last you a lifetime if you take care of it.Quality for the money and made in America.

This is why I bought it and used it last winter. It work fine for me. Before this I was using three 25 foot cords that I had for general use. They were always unplugging It is heavy as there is a lot of copper in it.

Sorry i am unsure. I have a murray. Check the model number of your snowblower and google it.

It should work just fne. I have five(5) of these units on various batteries from snowblowers to cars, and they have not given me any problems. I would recommend purchasing either a CTEK 56-564 indicator pigtail, or CTEK 56-380 indicator panel if you plan to permanently connect to your vehicle.

Our blower has a 2-prong (male) several foot cord connected to the machine, and it says "13A 125V" on it, so use at least a 14 amp cord. We use it with a heavier-gauge orange-colored 3 prong extension cord only because we already had one in a good length for our deck, and because I think that cord will do better as we leave it outside all winter.

I am sorry I am not sure. I use it for an electric snow thrower as it was recommended.

I Have the 375 watt tripp lite and the answer is still no. Your electric snowblower is 120 volt and most likely at least 12 amps at that voltage so 12 times 120 = 1440 watts minimum now if your snowblower is higher than 12 amps then the wattage would be higher. You would need it plugged into your home or plugged into a generator of at least 2000 watts maybe more.

If the 15 amp device is something big to start, It will not.I cant use my 15 amp compressor (Ridgid) using this 3500 W Champion Generator.

If it has a spark plug it should work just fine. I purchased this specifically for my 6500 Watt generator and it works perfect and was easy to install. (You just wrap the signal wire around the spark plug wire and secure it with a tie wrap)

Just checked the MTD website for eParts and it looks like this is a 5HP Tecumseh engine on this model snowblower. This kit would work on that model.

Twelve AWG (Gauge) wire is rated at 20 amps. But there is length limits. The 100 feet plus whatever is in your house from the breaker box to the outlet that it's plugged into starts to get kind of long. Why risk it. Don't load it with more than 15 amps. Make sure the wire going to the outlet your plugging it into is also 12 AWG. If I may also add, if you are going to run an electric snow blower with this I would buy it soon. It's 12/7 and it could snow soon.

I use my 12 volt on my bike all winter long. So if you have a 24 volt it should do the same thing.

I am not sure how much power this can handle. It does work with my 55,000 BTU heater which draws (as far as I know) 10 amps (to run the pump/fan). I suspect it would work, as long as you don't have to do anything to the heater to get it to turn on after you plug it in. If you have to turn on a switch/push a button/etc. after plugging in the heater, this won't work since it's just like you unplugged your heater after the desired temperature was reached, and plugged it back in when it gets too cold.

I wouldn't suggest it. I would recommend going with a thicker gauge 14 (as opposed to this 16) or 12, to be on the safe side. Primarily because you didn't mention the amperage of your electric lawn mower and how long it takes you to mow. Average electric lawn mower is around 12-amps and these cords are rated for 13-amps. You're right on the border as it is then factor in how long it takes you to mow the lawn (i.e. the longer it is then the hotter the cable becomes), the extreme heat in the summer months, and if it gets stuck on something then you'll have to worry about higher amperage (e.g. in-rush current). As I mentioned, my 2 cents would be a thicker gauge. It's a bit more money but how much is safety worth to you.

A 20 amp plug will work on 14awg and a 15amp breaker but will be a code violation. It also will not output 20 amps. To be compliant it would need 12awg and a 20amp breaker.

Probably not , it's not that it could not provide the continuous voltage but the start up of the electric snow blower would probably trip the built in 20 amp fault protection, not knowing what your electric snow blower is rated at amp draw, it should be noted in your operation manual what the ampere is there is another Tripp Lite portable which has a higher amp rating Tripp Lite PV375 Portable Auto Inverter 375W 12V DC to AC 120V 5-15R 2 Outlet this is rated at 40 amp Hope this answers your question

John, I have used a 100 ft 14/3 extension cord for weed wacker, hedge clipper and leaf blower but never snow blower except to start it up.I'm sure you will find a proper answer from another good "Sam". Sorry

I have mine on a 15 amp circuit. I use it for a dust collector in my basement. The dust collector will draw 13 amps max and the outlet works fine.
