"Heavy-Duty" "14 AWG" 🤔

14 AWG doesn't exactly scream heavy duty - this will work for most applications, but I try to always go for 12 AWG if power tools or a heater/vacuum might be involved.
When I think of Heavy-Duty I think of 10 gauge
Maybe 12 gauge
Thanks and strangely what I needed. It's like the SD app tracks my browsing history or something : )

It's a black cord, designating it for interior use. Wouldn't it be deemed heavy duty for interior applications? If you are running power tools, you are probably in the garage and not using black extension cords, since the real heavy duty ones are colored (most of the time)

I realize this is even less "heavy duty" but it's 25' for under $10 and is working well for me thus far.

15 amp? Okay. So I know Kasa smart plugs can handle up to 15 amps. So that will give you some ideas of what it can do
No need for such mental gymnastics since you already know the amperage. You just multiply the rated amps by the voltage standard of the country to get the wattage it can handle. Since it is 120 volts in the US, 15a x 120v = 1800 watts.

Would this be ok to use this with a power strip to power a TV, PS5, Switch, and other small electronics?

Probably a dumb question 🤔

How do we know whether an appliance requires a heavy duty extension cord?

Check the max watts the appliance uses. Then check many amps the extension cord is rated for and multiply that by 120 volts (the standard for the US) to see how many watts the cord can handle. So a 15 amp cord like this can handle up to 1800 watts total.

If the max power consumption of the device(s) doesn't exceed what the cable can handle then you are fine. Assuming the extension cord is from a reliable brand and is built and rated properly.

The heavy duty label isn't really that useful since there's no legal requirement on the minimum amount of amps an extension cord or power strip can handle for a company to be able to call it heavy duty.

If this was orange, people would complain about how short it is for $11. Then again, 16AWG is the most popular thickness for orange cords, so I prefer not mixing them up.

For 10', 14 AWG is fine. Voltage drop is less than a volt. The AWG required for high current applications is a function of length. You don't need as high of a gauge for 10' vs say 50' or 100' for the same amount of power. That being said this cord manufacturer specialized in computer cords, so this is probably better suited for indoors and running your home theater or gaming pc.

Agree. Most discussion on heavy duty gets into wire gauge, less about sheath.

How do we know whether an appliance requires a heavy duty extension cord?
Smartest thing written here so far (with a couple of exceptions).

The 15A is because the connectors are 15A. So it is assumed it will be used on a circuit with 15A or 20A breaker, and there will be no way for it to carry more than 15A. And at that current, the wire will be fine, with sufficiently low resistance that heat generation will not be a problem.

If you have a 20A appliance (table saw, etc.) it will have a special plug preventing it from even being plugged into a standard 15A outlet. Guessing that is not your situation, ...

The sizing issue with wiring in general is whether the voltage drop across the length of it will cause problems for the load (AC, refrigerator, electric chainsaw, lamp). Lower gauge means thicker wire, which means lower resistance. Shorter wire also means lower resistance. Voltage drop across the length of the wire equals current (actually flowing, not current rating) x resistance. Wiring between your service panel and the outlet you plug this into counts as well for this resistance and voltage drop calculation.

Some loads, most obviously electric motors can have serious problems when running at reduced voltage. They can even burn up. If you check the manual for any of these high-power devices, they are likely to have a little table specifically telling you what length of cord and AWG it can handle. You're probably getting about 120-124VAC at your power outlet, with no current flowing. When your AC, etc. is running, the voltage at the AC end of the cord will drop due to this resistance, and if it gets below a certain number, maybe 100VAC, it will run noticeably slower, reducing back EMF, increasing current, and there is risk of burning up the motor windings.

Beyond burning up a motor, the resistance of a cord also costs energy, which you may pay on your utility bill. If you had an AC, refrigerator, etc., ideally you'd use no extension cord. If needing one, you'd want to invest in the shortest and fattest (lowest AWG) one you can reasonably find. So a 9 foot 10AWG might be a good choice.

Rough rule of thumb for length vs. AWG: to keep the same resistance, when doubling the length, AWG would need to drop by 3. (they usually come in 10, 12, 14, 16 though).

Probably BS, 10 gauge but only rated for 15amps.
