I know this cord is rated at 15 amps. How many watts will it handle?

The only thing I can tell you that it's a 15 amp it is a very heavy cord.For the price you don't have too much to lose.

Yes - standard 110v ac power cord. I am not sure how many amps it draws but I have never had an issue on a standard 15amp circuit

According to the Instruction Booklet: 120V/60Hz 15 amp circuit. Output 500-1800 watts.

It says 1600 watts. That's 14 amps at 110 volts or 7 amps at 220 volts. But it did not work with a 1500 watt hair dryer at all and it "killed" my wife's curling iron. Read the reviews. I would not recommend this unit for converting 220 V to 110 V. As an adapter to use dual-voltage devices with different outlet types it is OK.

The wattage is 1600 Watts. You can use it on any 15 amp outlet in your home, providing nothing else is running simultaneously. I have had no problems using this in my kitchen I make sure other items on that circuit aren't running or are unplugged, because it will draw close to 15 amps.

It's rated at 15 amps. The wire gauge I couldn't tell you. The only thing I use it for is to plug my depth finder in off the 12 volt.

500 watts is well within the specs for this switch. As long as your extension cord has a standard 3-way grounded plug, it should be fine. I would recommend going with the 16 guage extension cord, because the smaller the gauge number the heavier the wire is and the more current that it can handle, which is always better.

no I dont believe it will handle the current it is rated for 15?amp max at most

14AWG should be handling up to 15A, I don't think this will be a good solution for that kind of amperage. I would suggest buying a single outlet extension wire for such purposes. I am not an expert, so please check some more

You need a 12 gauge cord rated for 15 amps. 15 amps x 120 volts = 1800 watts which is 300 more than the maximum. All UL approved cords will have a sticker with the maximum wattage rating on the cord. If the cord is too small then it will begin to melt depending on how much current you are pulling through it.

It's configured for USA 120v power applications...being 18 AWG limits it to 10 amps...and I wouldn't do that for long or if the cord gets too warm..

The unit is rated as 1800 watts. That means that its peak load will be 15 amps r.m.s.(1800 watts divided by 120 volts).

Not sure what your question is, but electrical rating for it is 120V AC, 1300 watts, or approx. 13 Amp.

Standard 15 amp out is fine. That's what I have mine plugged into without issue.

It draws 13.75 amps. I used it on my patio on a 15 amp non dedicated circuit with no problem.

I don't know the gauge of the wire. For a lamp, it's probably 18, but if only 20, or even 22, it should handle more than150 watts. I'm not an electrician, but I think you can safely assume that any lamp accessory will handle a 150 watt bulb/

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!
