Can you buy the proper length of cable at Home Depot or McMaster and
make a extension cord yourself with a male and female plug?

Errol Groff

Well, obviously. Also note that you may need a larger AWG of wire than
is called for by the required ampacity of the load in order to keep
the voltage drop within reason.

Particularly important if you're running an extension to your shed to
run a compressor (as in a beer fridge). Too much series resistance can
lead to a stalled compressor on start-up and subsequent frying and
warm beer.

Wrong. The knot accumulates electricity that gets stuck there, and
that accumulated electricity can help with motor starting. I also
would recommend attaching magnets to cleanse electrons. Magnets
decrease resistance by up to 6.2 percent.

Agreed. And almost always better.
Any type plug, one of those blue plastic shallow handyboxes at HD, a wall
receptacle, and 16 ga lampcord or zipcord. You can also find 14 ga zipcord
at some garden centers.
Or put 2 duplex receptacles in a "1900" electrical box--about 99c.

Home made extension cords are always better than bought.

Your local electrical supply wholesaler - where the electricians go
for their 'stuff'. IIRC, you're across the pond - but they have to
exist over there too... ;-)

The bulk cord comes in 250' and 500' reels depending on the gauge,
and longer if you want to order it in. (Yes, you can make a 2,500'
long extension cord for your gold mine...) They will be glad to
measure and cut off a 150' chunk, whatever style you want. And should
have the heavy-duty cord caps you need for the ends.

There are many grades, the US System is 'SO' for heavy duty rubber
jacket, Junior cord for light duty 'SJO'. The thermoplastic jacket
has a T in the mark - 'STO' and 'SJTO' The O is oil resistant, they
tack a W on the end for water resistant 'STOW'.

There's a special lightweight plastic with an E code for ultra-low
temperatures (-67F) carrying SEOW or SJEOW markings. You do NOT want
a P in the code (SPT), that's parallel conductors (flat lay) with no
jacket, meant for indoor light-duty use only. Logical open-coded
system, all you have to remember is what each letter stands for...

Which of course the rest of the world totally ignores for an ISO
standard that you have to go look up in a reference book to decipher.
This is better?? :-(

And the part about "connecting the cord backwards" isn't totally a
joke - you'll notice the lay of the conductors as Black-White-Green
(or Blue-Brown-Green/Yellow for the Euro coding system) will drop
right into the cord cap holes at both ends one way, and will need to
be twisted at both ends to hit the right pins the other way.

If you find yourself flopping the wires inside the cord cap, stop
and try the other end of the cable. Because if the insulation fails
from age right there where they cross, you get fireworks.

Likely cheaper to use two cords vs building one. Now buying 150Ft of wire and using real
plugs and sockets will make a decent extension cord. That moulded in stuff tends to be
crap for sockets.

A few years ago I was told to replace the SO cord with SJO cord on an electric hoist. The
hoist ran on a overhead rail so the hoist had a cord reel on it.

I dutifully removed the larger diameter cord and managed to get just almost as much sjo
back on. The snail spring limits how many turns are usable and the smaller jacket
diameter made a smaller diameter coil giving less length on the reel.

Great thinking there. I did, however, end up with a really nice extension cord out of the
exercise.

How big is this reel? If you need a heavier gauge for the length, and
then you want SO for the durability, it's going to take a hell of a
cord winder to hold it.

150' is a short lead for sound and video production. I have a couple
150' reels and a 300' as well. The 150' is on a portable reel. The 300
is on an old fire engine booster line reel. I figure it held 200 feet of
1" rubber line so the 300 feet of cord is easy. Still have one reel left
with the motor on it. Anyone interested in a HEAVY duty reel could look
around a fire engine repair or rebuild outfit. They likely have a few
laying around.

If you take Iggy's suggestion be sure that you put the male and female
plugs on the correct ends of the wire. Otherwise the current will be
trying to flow upstream and damage may result.

Also important is to never leave any coils in the extension cord when
it's in use. If you do, the electricity goes around in circles too
many times and gets all dizzy. You want straight electricity.

I am flattered that yu remembered all my qualifications.

BTW, there is some rationale for using DC with long extension cords. I used
to have a box that was full of rectifiers and capacitors--it turned 120 VAC
into 140 VDC. It made power tools run really strong; it was intended to
compensate for the losses in long extension cords.

Not mine, I use 5' diameter loops of my SO. Arms get tired just at the
end from hauling it in and holding that much rubber and copper.

I need a 150' extension cord and all I can find are 100' cords. Yes I
know I can plug a 50' cord into a 100' cord, but that gives a lump foe
my cord winder; I would still like a 150' cord. Any clue who sells
them? Don't need heavy duty, a light flexible cord would be best.

Nick, why are you trying to spam trap a URL? That makes no sense.


Because if I put it into the URL form my ISP will often delete the
message ;(

Ah, I see. That makes sense.

What? It's been maybe 2 weeks since you posted them all over the
world.


BTW, there is some rationale for using DC with long extension cords. I used
to have a box that was full of rectifiers and capacitors--it turned 120 VAC
into 140 VDC. It made power tools run really strong; it was intended to
compensate for the losses in long extension cords.

I understand that some of the power transmission companies are now
running some DC (HVDC), too. They apparently get less loss at 200kV.
Do what you feel in your heart to be right - for you'll be criticized
anyway. You'll be damned if you do, and damned if you don't.
