Can I attach this to an extension cord to attach a 3 prong power cord?

I don't see why not. It's just a little adapter cord that has a 2 prong male side, and a three hole female side. I use it for my laptop charger because the outlet in my kitchen is old and only has 2 holes.

I have mine plugged in with 3 prong extension cord. I measured and it is just a bit over 3 1/2 feet. It is well worth getting even if to need short extension cord.

A 2-wire or 3-wire extension cord will work with this. The plug on the unit is 2-prong, and is surrounded by a black flexible cup which most single-outlet extension cords should fit.

Yes you can as long as extension cord is grounded. Go to your hardware store and get cord that has grounding. it will work just fine.

The unit has three prongs that plug into the wall outlet. It probably could be used with the proper three-to-two prong adapter.

I don't know why not. I also don't know why you want to use an extension cord. If you are thinking about a "power strip" be sure it is not the kind with a switch to turn off the power. If you are concerned about not being able to use the outlet for something else, I have mine plugged into the lower outlet and have a printer plugged into the upper outlet with no problem. If the outlets are horizontal/side by side then there will be a problem as the body of the unit is wide and will cover the outlet next to it. Hope this helps.

Yeah, you should be able to. Just make sure it is something with three prongs because this has ground prong

As I recall, it's designed to accommodate any 3-prong extension cord. As a side note/possible alternative (if you have a battery charger) -- I have a similar unit from a different manufacturer and I lost its proprietary cord long ago. However, I have been charging it with my automotive trickle-charger, connecting the clamps from the trickle charger to the clamps on the jumpstarter. I've been doing this for roughly 10 years now and it has worked well.

The only reason for a 3-prong plug is safety for appliances witha metallic cover - the 2-prong plug will plug into your 3-prong socket with no trouble at all. That includes any kind of extension cord.

I would say yes, if you need it for extra length to reach an outlet as it is 3 pronged on both ends & is heavy duty. Hope this helps.

Electrical. The 3 pronged cord attached is about a foot 1/2 so you will need an extension cord.

If I understand the question, you are wondering how to extend the length of the chord so you can plug the UPS into an outlet across the room. If this is what you are asking, you can use a 3 prong extension chord. These units must be grounded so as long the the plug and extension chord are 3 prong and properly grounded there will be no issue.

Yes, a three-prongU.S.A. plug will fit, but you should pack an adaptor with the ground on it just incase your device doesn't fit well

It can but I have to agree with the other comments, Part of my job is to conduct safety inspections and it is not allowed to plug an extension cord into another extension cord as not to create a fire hazard. As a result, I would treat this power outlet the same as an extension cord. Why risk it?

No, I don't think so, this has a 3 prong plug in, I believe yours is 4 prong

Depends on the number of electrical outlets around your house. But you might want to consider a heavy duty extension cord also.

It's a regular household non grounded 2 prong plug.. I would think you could get a 3 prong grounded adapter for about a dollar at any hardware store(Homedepot Lowes..
