I only went 4 stars because I did not deconstruct the cord to verify if in fact is is 10 gauge copper or how good the terminations are. But based on load test, size, and flexibility of cord it must be 10 gauge copper. Time will tell if terminations hold-up.
The ends do seem well made, heavy duty.
My order arrived with a nice surprise! It included a NEMA L14 30P female x NEMA L5 30R male adapter (a version of 4 prong x 3 prong adapter). I was actually looking for that adaptor when I ran across this cord. So delighted I have a another tool in my elect power kit. See photos.
It’s made in China so we know to be careful :-(
2 words of CAUTION:
1) How long of a cord is safe for use? Capacity of wire is a function of wire type and length given its gauge size (thickness). As you have seen on any extension cord warning, you must be careful with wire lengths. I see many reviews/questions were folks are using (or wanting to use) very long cords. Be careful with how much load you put on the cord. A 10 gauge cord (like these) in 240V service and 10’ long will handle much more load than the same gauge cord in 75’ length. For example, this 10 gauge copper wire pulling 30 amps will lose 90-100 volts at 100’.
2) If adapting from a 4 prong 240V cord to a 3 prong 125V be sure you understand the difference between 240v service and 120v service. Your are cutting your voltage in half. Sparing you Ohm’s Law tech talk, a 120v circuit will see twice the amps of a 240v circuit at same wattage load. Example, say your coffee pot hot plate or microwave uses 1200 watts. At 120v that is ~ 10 amps (1200 watts/120 volts = 10 amps). If a 1200 watt load is on 240V service, the amp draw is half at 5 amps.
If you adapt a 240v cord to 120v it’s worse for a given cord length. Cuz you are losing one of the hot wires to help carry the load.
I share all this to help others understand how careful you should be when using long cords. And especially when using adapters like these cited here.
*And yeah I know typical household or RV coffee pots don’t run on 240V service. I use that as an example only.
