Would this cord be appropriate for use with a 13 amp electric Snow THrower?
837493
Absolutely not. This item is rated at 13A as its maximum capacity, but that applies only for short periods. Carrying such a load for 20+ minutes would overheat the cord, shortening its life and possibly causing insulation to soften, risking an internal short-circuit. Furthermore, with only a 50 ft. length, you'd be tempted to add on a second extension cord, which makes the overheating problem even worse. For 50 ft., you need 14 gauge (14/3); for 100 ft., you need 12 gauge (12/3); 200 ft. => 10 gauge; and so on.

According to this item description, it's okay theoretically (13 A is max. capacity of this item). On the other hand, I used it for the mosquito killing lamp in the hot summer but no huge electric current required. Maybe, you may contact the manufacturer to ensure it.

The manual says it is not recommended but if you do use the shortest length possible and use one labeled for outdoor use. I see no problem using a heavy duty cord. Art Dunford

I used it for one season with a electric snow blower. So think it is possible for an electric lawn mower seeing how each are pretty much similiar being the plug ins being used. Just be careful with the duration of time that you used the cable for since they the plug in ends can catch fire. Used mine on the electric snow blower I had for the winter season and noticed the plug in end where you place it onto the working application itself was on fire that resulted in the end being melted with black brown stain left. So it can just make sure about theduration x frequency of use with the cable just speaking on what I went through with it myself. I used it for one season with a electric snow blower.

The cord is 18" that outdoor extension cords are attached to. That's how it is made. This is a small snow thrower that does a great job. It is not the blower to clean all your neighbor's driveways, but will do a good job on your own.

As long as it has the same size 2.1mm plug. You would not want to go much longer as a power cord without increasing your gauge size.

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

I have this electric snow thrower and use a heavier gauge cord. I can't recall if this was recommended in the owner's manual or by the salesperson at Home Depot. Kind of a pain because the thick cord was stiff and not very flexible to maneuver in the cold weather, though the cords seemed to have loosened up with use. Snow thrower does pretty good some of clearing snow.

Hi - We use this ext cord to plug in our 30-amp camp trailer to electricity. It's very heavy-duty. The cord is 3-prong accessible on both ends. Depending on the household appliance, you may need an adapter for the 3-prongs. It should work. For specific info regarding a generator, you may want to contact the Coleman Company. Hope this helps.

This cord is way to heavy for your needs, Just buy a good lawn and garden cord,it will work fine for an electric lawn mower and is a lot lighter to drag around.Cheers,Dan

ran ours all last winter, it was hooked up to a outdoor power strip which was run off of a 100 ft heavy duty extension cord, so I think you would be fine using an outdoor heavy duty cord. I would recommend covering the connection to keep out moisture with a cord connector or even a plastic 2 liter bottle, just cut a slice in the side of it and stick the cord ends inside it.

I've used this cord at continuous maximum load (120v 12A) for over three days without any issues, so this will definitely serve your need. The 12-gauge is thinner wire than this 10-gauge cord, so it's worse, not better, electrically. The 12-gauge may be sufficient for your needs. 12 gauge shouldn't be used for continuous loads above 9.3A, so check your pump's electrical rating.

I think it should be OK. 12/3 cord is rated for 15 amps. Your freezer probably doesn't pull that much, but you should read the data plate to make sure. Do you really need 25 feet? Something like this is probably a semi-permanent setup so you shouldn't use any longer cord than you need. If you only need 10 feet, buy a 12/3 ten foot cord.

Yes, but ONLY IF the extension cord has at least #14 AWG (and preferably, #12 AWG) conductors. "Standard" extension cords using #16 and #18 AWG conductors are NOT up to the current drawn by this heater.

I would like to believe so. It is an indoor/outdoor cord. Mind you there are cords specifically designed for cold weather temps. It's a judgement call really.

I bought my cord at a local hardware store, and it was a heavy 12/3 cord. I've used that on my Sun Joe mower and roto-tiller for 3 seasons now with no problems to either motor.

I would base your decision on the length of the drive. If less than 50 feet, a 14/3 guage outside cord will be perfect. If more than that a 12/3 gauge is recommended. The lower the the number, the more current it can carry. The motor is rated at 12 amp. I would also recommend purchasing a new outside cord. Remember, you are using electricity out in the snow. Be safe. Here is another reference if desired: http://www.ehow.com/how_5236098_choose-extension-cord-power-tool.html

I don't see why not if it's a utility grade extension cord. The cord that comes with the unit is pretty long. You may not even have to use an extension. I have used both an outdoor plug and one in our garage. I really do like this little machine. I even used it to blast the paint off our 500 gallon propane tank to prep it for repainting. Don't be fooled by it's size. It packs a punch. Good luck!
