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

Saw is 3 HP 220V. TIA, F


3 hp equates out to about 15 amps at 220 volts. You will be pushing a
14 gauge cord. 12 gauge will do it just fine. 10 is over kill for 25
feet. Greg

At 220, that's only 7.5A per wire; NOT much of a problem. YOu're mostly
right, but for the wrong reasons.
