Portable Generator Extension Cord Safety Considerations...
August 15, 2024 - Pay attention to the gauge of the wire. Gauge refers to the thickness of the wire. A thin gauge can handle much less power than a thicker gauge. The smaller the number the thicker the wire.Thicker gauge is capable of carrying power a longer distance. Don't go by how thick the cord looks. Inside the casing it is hard to see how much is insulation and how much is wire. This is why a gauge system exists.
Be sure to get a cord long enough to allow your generator to sit far enough from your home or RV to keep you away from the noise and any harmful gases being created from the generator. In most cases this will mean that your cord will be outside while in use. So, be sure to purchase a cord that is rated for outside use.
Don't keep adding extension cords to extension cords trying to get more length. This adds to the voltage drop and can increase the load to a dangerous level. This means that the leads will heat up to dangerous levels and cause a risk of fire.
Also pay attention to the amp rating. A 50 amp generator cord can handle higher wattages than a 20 amp generator cord. The power outlets on your portable generator have a power rating and you just need to match up the generator extension cord with the amp rating of the generator outlet. A 30 am outlet needs a 30 amp cord. Fortunately, the connectors are built to match each other. The shapes of the plugs are made to only plug into the outlets they are compatible with.
Don't run your generator and extension cord constantly. Give them time to cool off some. Consider the age and how much gas is stored within the generator. Most models can cope with 8 to 24 hours before needing a break and refueling.
