Subject: Any electricians?
I have a VW related question for you all. :) The garage at my new
place is perfect except for the lack of electricity. I bought a big
extension cord to run out there from the house. So far all I plan to
run off the thing are lamps. All of the power tools I have right now
are cordless. So, before I go burn the place to the ground: Can
somebody tell me how many 100 watt bulbs I can plug into this cord?
It says "Use this medium capacity outdoor cord with garden or power
tools and appliances that require 10 amps or less." It also says 16
AWG on there and down by the little UL sign it says 10A 1250W 16/3
SJTW-A. It is 100ft in length. I recently consolidated my household
with my SO so I have about as many lamps as I could want for plugging
in out there. Last night we pushed and turned the bus sideways in
there so I have more room at the rear for getting the motor in and
out. All I need is to order a few more parts and get myself a little
work bench built. Thanks for any help with the electricity thing.
Jim
