16 AWG Heavy Duty Universal Power Cords FAQ

Is a 16 gauge extension cord considered heavy duty?

No, a 16 gauge extension cord is not considered heavy duty. 16-gauge cords are suitable for light-duty use, such as powering lamps and small appliances. They can handle up to 10 amps of current and are suitable for cords up to 50 feet in length. For medium to heavy-duty applications, 14-gauge or 12-gauge cords are recommended.

How much power can a 16 gauge extension cord handle?

The power capacity of a 16 gauge extension cord depends on its length. For cords less than 50 feet, a 16 AWG cord can power up to a 1625-watt appliance. For cords longer than 50 feet, the maximum wattage drops to 1250 watts to prevent overheating and voltage drop.

What can I plug into a 16 gauge extension cord?

16 gauge extension cords are suitable for low-wattage appliances such as portable fans, alarm clocks, table lamps, or floor lamps. However, electronic devices like TVs or computers should be connected to a surge protector for added protection.

What is the best wire for a heavy duty extension cord?

For heavy-duty appliances, you'll want an extension cord with a large gauge (thick wire) and a high amp rating to handle the load. 10-gauge or 12-gauge cords with a 15 amp or higher rating are ideal for heavy-duty applications.

Can I use a 16 gauge extension cord for a refrigerator?

It is generally not recommended to use an extension cord for a permanently plugged-in appliance like a refrigerator. However, if you must, use a 3-conductor (grounded) 16-gauge cord, as refrigerators can draw a peak power of 4 to 8 amps when cycling on.

What gauge extension cord should I use for Christmas lights?

The gauge of the extension cord needed for Christmas lights depends on the number of lights and their power consumption. If you have a few lights, a 16 gauge or lighter cord may be sufficient. However, if you have a chance of winning your neighborhood's Christmas lighting contest, a 14 gauge extension cord is recommended to handle the higher power demand.
