If I use 12-gauge extensions cords, can I go 200 feet from my power source?

I used 2 x 100 ft. power cords, one I ordered when I bought this tiller: Coleman Cable 02309 16/3 Vinyl Outdoor Extension Cord, Orange, 100-Feet 16-gauge I had had a 12-gauge extension cord already and used both together- no problem.

We use a 100 feet 14-gauge and there was no porplem at all. I'd say give it a try and if it doesn't work with your 12- gauge extension cords. Send it back for refund.

In my opinion, yes you can!! You can test this yourself, if the tiller seems to slow down under small loads, the wire is too small!!

You should use at least 8 gauge heavy copper wire for that distance because of low voltage and higher amps for charging. Only do it outdoors away from combustible material.

By using a 12 gauge cord you can easily run 100 feet of cord. If using a cheap 16 gauge cord (Most common type) keep it short. A 12 gauge wire is what also feeds your 20 amp receptacle in your house.

Maria according to my husband use a 12 gauge cord and 50 ft extension. Good luck and Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year...

Yes, though you have to make sure that your power source has the proper amperage to carry it. I'm sure that 10-15 meters is fine. Just make sure that you have enough power to supply the strips and aren't overloading the power source.

Yes, don't use an extension cord thinner than 12 gauge and make sure the plug fits nice and tight. After using it for at least 20 minutes, feel the plugs and the wire to see if they are warm, if they are, use a larger wire gauge or if it is the plugs, get better ones with tighter fit.

As per the instruction booklet, you can use a short ext cable if you have to but they recomend plugging it in. I am using a short one...couldnt find shorter than 6 feet but i made sure to get one meant for heavy duty applications. It has to be 3 pronged...my house hasnt burned down yet so its good!

The manual states you should only use an extension cord rated for outdoor use ... but does not mention gauge. The Home Depot website offers a buyers guide for extension cords. Basically you want to ensure the most power getting to the blower and not being consumed by the cord so there are two factors, wire gauge and length. The bigger the wire and the shorter the cord the lower the resistance so for 12 Amps using a 100 ft cord you should use at least a 14 gauge cord or larger. If you are interested in the larger 18 Amp blower you would need a 10 gauge. It's best to reference an extension cord buyers guide to determine what size cord will best meet your needs for the length of cord you will need.

I'm away from the system, but pretty sure each cord set for the cameras are 50ft. The local electronics guy at Radio Shack said I should have no problems going up to 200ft, but I cannot confirm. I recommend calling or online chatting Q-See customer support for a definitive answer. They have been very helpful in my dealings with them. Hope this helps.

I wouldn't recommend it the more you hook together the more the amps drop. Could cause damage to equipment running under powerd at full load. For this reason I purchased the 50' rather than adding a small ext. to my 25ft cord.

I mounted my unit about 2 feet away from an existing wall receptacle. If I had to use an extension cord, I would use a 13 or 15 amp rated extension cord for this purpose.

I dont know about 20'' exactly. I'm sure you could get close enough. this is a 12 volt system so you could run off batteries and not worry about the cord.

Depends on the Gauge. You need to use a think gauge cable. I have it using a normal gauge at 20 Ft. Hope this helps.

I use a six foot extension cord and it works fine. Unfortunately I can't tell you what gage wire is in the cord, but it was just off the shelf.

Purchase a 25 ft, 10 or 12 gauge ext cord and you will be fine. Dont plug in any other devices in that socket.

I intend to use at least 500 feet. I don't think there is a limit, so long as the wire is thick enough for 7 ampere.

I used a 100 ft 12 gauge power cord, "US Wire 65100 12/3 100-Foot SJTW Orange Heavy Duty Extension Cord", that I bought on Amazon. I noticed no loss of power.
