Does anyone know what amperage this extension cord is rated at?

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.

The assumption would be 20 amps. 10 ga wire is rated for about 30 amps but there aren't any 30 amp single pole breakers that I am aware of.

Before you consider putting anything in excess of 20 amps through this cord, you should measure the resistance of its wires. Are they really 10 gauge? I measured my cord and got 170 milliohms for the hot/neutral and 270 milliohms for the ground connector along the full 100' length using the three outlet version of this 10/3 cable (http://www.amazon.com/Contractor-Grade-Foot-Extension-Cord/dp/B000BMFWC8), indicating that its fictional 10/3 really means 12/2 for the hot/neutral (with either 19/25 (more likely) or 16/30 (less likely) stranding) and 14 AWG for the ground! The reason I bothered to measure is because it was way too thin and light to be a true 10/3 cable, so I decided to verify, something all of the five star reviewers of this cable haven't bothered to do. Think about it, can a true 10/3 well insulated copper extension cord that is 100 feet long weigh only 18 lbs? Answer: No! There is a reason why this cord has NEMA 5-15 connectors on it and is officially rated 1875 W/15 A - 12 gauge wiring is used for hot/neutral and an appalling 14 gauge for ground.

The info that comes with it lists it as "#10 STW 3 Conductor. 15A - 125V. -40 F Coldweather jacket - Water & Flame Resistant.

The cord has not been hot and I am using it on a 45ft essex coach. It has a 50 amp service.

I wish I could help. Here is the spec sheet on it and there is no information on the amp rating, just the surge protection. http://media.accobrandspartner.com/datasheets/datasheet2012.aspx?sku=K62634&langua;ge=us&country;=us&sow;=1&hrp;=1&brandID;=6

Its 125v. Not sure the amp rating but its probably no higher than 20 or 30...

My cord has the following written on it: (UL) E189672 SJT 3X14AWG VW-1 105(degree)C 300V CSA LL213732 SJT 3X14AWG FT-2 105(degree)C 300V DONGU. Not sure what that all means, but it appears to be at least 14 gauge wire capable of handling 300V at 105 degrees Celsius (221 degrees F), however I have heard that the length of the extension cord can affect performance. Therefore, I suggest contacting the manufacturer to see if they offer longer cords, or can suggest where you might be able to get one with the proper specs.

I don't know what the actual amperage rating is but I run two of them in my camper on one 15amp circuit and have not had any blown fuse issues. I have been extremely happy with this product

Every extension cord I've ever seen has the same lead warning (Christmas lights too). The socket and plug ends of the cord are factory sealed so I can't see the wiring material directly, I dont remember if the package specified. I was focussed on the load rating, since the maximum output mine will have to Cary is 23amps at 240volts I felt the 30 amp rating left a comfortable margin. Cable is heavy duty and performs well for my purpose (connecting generator to transfer switch).

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

As per labeled on the switch, its rated up to 20Amps.....hope this will help you....thx.

Asked at Home Depot and they advised the right gauge; not sure what it was. It is certainly working fine with the extension cord.

I use a regular 13amp low temp for flexibility 100' extension cord although a 15amp rated cord would be a better choice.

It is indeed a 50 Amp 30 Ft cord. Mine was slightly used but worked fine. I have used it as recently as last week.

It's rated to 12V. However, I'm using with 220V without any problems. I think it only matter the ampers involved.Hope is useful.

I don't know amperage on cord but I know I run a miller 250 amp welder off mine daily

Please check your owner's manual. It will give the amps of your unit. It should also say what gauge extension to use, depending on the length of the extension. If not, there will be Web sites that will give the gauge for the amps and length.

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.

13.5 amps so you will want a 14-gauge extension cord rated for outdoor use.
