Dave Boros Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 Aside from monoprice, whose a cheap wholesale supplier? Looking for 12 awg powercords, 50 & 75 ft. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surfing4Dough Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 I think I saw 25ft 12/3 at walmart for $27 and 50ft 12/3 for $45. Bright yellow though. Shipping cost for such heavy cord might make shipping pricy from online stores. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Boros Posted October 27, 2011 Author Share Posted October 27, 2011 I'm going to talk to our friend Saturday amd see if using 14 awg would be ok. The reason he told me to use 12 was to avoid voltage drop, which is the major cause for tripping the circuit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beeiilll Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 Check out Lowe's or Home Depot as well and look for any sales is another idea.You can check with electricians and electrical supply houses also. I make my own cords (I'm an electrician) and buy cord and plugs in bulk so I get a fairly good deal on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be two lines just running to the controllers, and the one section I'd probably put in pvc conduit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
