Azforger Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 I have a motor that has an Fla (full load amps?) of 6 amps at 220v. Can I safely run it with a 16ga extension cord of 50' on a 15 amp 2 pole breaker? The cord should be rated for 10 amps, am I understanding this correctly?

Steve Sells Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 I should mention 14 GA would be better since its a 15 amp breaker. and it wont cost much more than the 16 GA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
