I thought 10 gauge meant it was rated for 16 to 20 amps up until 150ft. So how is this 10 gauge an only be rated for 15 amps?

gauge is the thickness measurement for the product not the internal electric tolerance of the device

Hi customer, Yes! officially 15Amp (1875W) because power source suppose to Max 15 Amp however, this cable is using STW 10 Awg wire which can hold up to 20Amp. Have a very nice day! Tony 1-877-267-3711 FREE

They recommend you minimize the length when using extension cords. I was using a 12 awg extension but it is no longer than 15 ft. With no problems. 12awg can pull 20 amps through it but I think they want to minimize the resistance which will maximize the current going to the tool. It will work but you may run I to a penetration Issue with the studs which may pop off after a few pulls.

It depends on your application and length needed but I find 12-16 gauge best. If you have long runs say over 30ft I would consider the 12 gauge but for anything less you'll be fine with 16 gauge

having used this item it can consume some decent degree of amperes to run. Not overtly though. this unit BTW was worth its weight in gold this year. My mother, whom I bought it for was extremely glad she had it. Onto amps. 14 gauge is for 15 amps, 12 gauge is for 20 amps. after using it I would recommend no less than a 14 gauge 100 foot line and no less than a 12 gauge 200 foot line. as your line length increases so does your electrical resistance and that is why beyond 100 foot I would recommend the heavier 12 gauge line.

16 awg is typically more than adequate. 14 gauge could be used for really long runs (over 100ft), or if you are pushing a lot of power to large front channels.

The extension is not 10 ga wire. It appears to be 14ga., but is designed for lower amperage loads than the 10ga. would be. I am unaware of any premade extension cable with 10ga. Better off to just go buy a roll of 10ga wire and put the ends on you need.

Are the connecting wires of appropriate gauge? You need at least 14 gauge wire to supply power. I sized mine up to 12 gauge which is rated for 20 amps.

It says 10 gauge but I personally would do 6 gauge or larger. This amplifier is fused at 60 amps. To carry 60 amps you typically need AT LEAST 8 gauge wire and that is bare minimum in my book. On a side note the actual amount of wire in contact with the terminal on the amp is not as important as the size of the wires in general. What I mean by this is if you have to shave the wire down at the end to get it to fit into the hole on the amp it won't matter as long as you have the bigger gauge wire running through the car. Run a single 4 gauge wire for optimum performance in all conditions. It says 10 gauge but I personally would do 6 gauge or larger. This amplifier is fused at 60 amps.

Hello,This 15 foot cord is rated at 15 amps. It your hair dryer is rated at that level or below, then you should be OK. That information should be either on the dryer or the box. If it doesn't show amps, the amps can be determined by dividing the watts by the volts. Example: 1500 watt dryer divided by 110 volts (typical U.S. house current), then you're pulling 13.6 amps, and you would be OK in this example. Dryer wattage varies considerably, so just to be safe, check it out. Hope this helps you!

Nothing on the plugs that would indicate amperage, so I can't tell you for sure. Having said that, the wire looks to be 14-2 which would mean 15 amps.

They were designed for 30 to 40 amps according to the manufacture. I think you are thinking like house wire that is AC. With DC if I remember correctly you can run 30amp through 16 gauge for approximately 5 feet. But longer distance require lower gauge. 10 gauge is.good for a run of 20 feet. But I agree thicker the wire the better.

10 ga. wire has a diameter .1019 inch and can handle a maximum of 55 amps-depending on the type and temp of the cable. It is my opinion that this size wire is too large for these connectors, would be very difficult to assemble and if you need to draw this amount of current it would probably be unsafe.

PFL2004 requires 8.3amps, 2=16.6amps, three 25.1amps. so, thermostat and wiring rated more than 25.1 amps answer is yes, however, I doubt that is the case. 14 gauge wire is rated 15amps, 12 gauge 20 amps, 10 gauge 30 amps, is your "one line" 10 gauge wire? probably not. Moreover, question is puzzling, why three on one thermostat, heating a barn?

Manual says for 6 to 10 amp rating, use a minimum of 16 gauge for 26-50 foot cord. 14 Gauge for 51 to 100 foot cord. I use 16 gauge on a 25 foot cord. Larger is always better especially if you are going through tall grass or Bermuda like me. Hope this helps.

The 100' cord is rated at 20 amps. However, the connectors are only rated at 15 amps. For maximum safety, the cord should only be used for 15 amp service.
