As the distance from the supply outlet increases, you must use a heavier gauge extension cord. Useing extension
cords with inadequately sized wire causes a serious drop in voltage, resulting in loss of power and possible product
damage. Refer to the table here to determine the required minimum wire size.
Extension Cords
The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity of the cord. For example, a 14 gauge cord can
carry a higher current than a 16 gauge cord. When using more than one extension cord to make up the total length,
be sure each cord contains at least the minimum wire size required.
