Want to replace current 10' cord with 25' cord.
Is 14-3 large enough?

Saw is 3 HP 220V. TIA, F

Depends. If you are going to stay within the 25' then I'd go with 12 guage.
The surge of a starting motor draws more then you think. 10 guage would be
nice if you are even thinking of needing an extension cord. Either way, 14
guage is too small.

I know they wire houses with it, but 14 guage braided copper in a cord is
just not as safe for long distances.
