Greetings All,
Let's say I have two extension cords, both 50 feet long. I need to use
both to reach a device that is 90 feet away from the receptacle. One
is 12 gauge and the other is 14 gauge. Looking in the book I find the
voltage drop for each cord and add them together. The total voltage
drop at the required amperage is acceptable for the device plugged
into the cords. Two questions: Does it matter which cord is plugged
into the power source? And is my assumption correct about adding the
voltage drops?
Thank You,
Eric R Snow
