I presently own the 25 foot cord like this, can I connect this 50 foot cable with no loss of power or safety issues? Generator is 65 feet for house c

I have two 50' cords connected for some of my operations. I've never noticed an issue.

I am using it as you 25 ft + 50ft for emergency power to a submersible pump water well (220v) security light and power gate opener(110v) no problems

NO. You will burn up the motor. The longer the cord, the lower the number on the cord needs to be. I believe that we are using a 12 and have had great success and are not having issues. Our cord is a 50 ft as well.

Sounds like if you have the 8000 watts output this cord will plug into your output receptacle on the generator, need to check the ratings on both the cord and generator. Remember this is the main feed line between your generator and home or what you are trying to supply with electricity. Use caution, proper rated inlet box and a transfer switch/panel. 8000 watts output is more than sufficient to run [minimal use] a normal size single family home during an outage. Also, when in doubt consult with a licensed electrician.

Yes you can! Just start it and run your extension cords to what ever you need! what I did was incorporate it into my household electric breaker box. So when the power goes off for any amount of time...I can just plug the generator into the house....don't have to use any extension cords throughout the house. Make sense? No door cracked open for cords etc.

I had the same issue and contacted Deltran tech support. They responded with: "We do not recommend going over 25 foot. Anything over 25 foot will result in a loss of charging voltage to the battery." Not sure if it will damage the battery or the charging unit, but I'm not going to risk it

The eu6500 has a l6-30 on the unit itself, this cord would not be needed with that generator

I have hooked up a 100ft extension with no problems. I reckon a 50ft would come with the same adapters. So I would say yes you can hook them up, or buy a 100ft instead.

I don't really know for sure, you probably should check with an electrician. I can tell you that I ran power to a detached shop from home breaker box. I used 10-3 outdoor grade wiring for the 100 foot span. Absolutely no problems.

I purchased a heavy-duty extension cord from US Wire (found on Amazon easily) US Wire 65050 12/3 50-Foot SJTW Orange Heavy Duty Extension Cord. The cables are high quality, durable, and made in the USA. You can go even heavier duty if you want, but I've had no issues with that wire. As others have noted, definitely make sure the generator is either outdoors or the garage door is at least open. In my case, I purchased some 12" x 12" paving stones from Home Depot ($2 ea in my area) and created a small solid pad to place the generator on as-needed. My grounding rod is right next to the pad, so when I haul out the generator and place it, a simple connection to the grounding rod is made and I'm good to go. There are tons of ways to setup your generator, it all depends on your location and desired usage. Keeping it outside is definitely preferred - mine is under an 8' covered deck, so plenty of air space and still protected from most of the elements. Good luck and happy generating.

NO. Not if you use the proper cord. I am presently running 100 ft. With the cords 55195, 50 amp. Just stick with a good product.

This was a 30 AMP plug. I purchases a 50' generator cable. The cable is mounted in the suspended ceiling of the basement. The female end of the cable is hanging from the ceiling in front of the transfer swirtch. The other end actually runs outside and hangs under the deck where the generator would go. I didn't purchase a seperate 30 amp plug. It's part of the 50' cable.Hope this helps.

No I don't believe so, the 50 amp connection is a one way out to the coach, the only power you would have is 120 off the coach generator.

50' would be pushing it. It would be better to use a 50' extension cord. The compressor is incredibly light.

Andrew,I'm not sure why it says that but I have a cord running to mine from the 15 amp plug of the generator. My generator is a champion 4000 w. I have also just bought one for my in-laws also. It's well made and alot easier than the splice job I had to do during Sandy.Tim

I'm confident that the cord will handle that momentary surge, however, I would be more concerned about your power supply/generator being able to handle that surge.

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.

Yes. If you use power cable with a sufficient conductor core diameter I suppose you could extent the cable with at least another 10 to 20 ft.
