Size it

Amps. Feet. Where it runs. One reel.

A cord is sized by three facts: the current it carries (the gauge, from the NEC ampacity table for flexible cord), the length of the run (a long cord loses volts, so the gauge steps up), and where it lives (the letters on the jacket). Answer the three and we name the size and show the reels that fit.

1 The load and the run

2 Where will it live?
