Ponddude Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 I have CTB16PC boards and was just wondering what size extension cords to use. I know that the power cords on them are 14 guage wire, but should I be using 14 or 12 guage extension cords? Just wondering.Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LightORamaDan Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 Really depends on the length and the load. Most likely 14 will be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denny Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 There is a good table on Planet Christmas that gives the cord length, amperage, and gauge requirements. You can find it at: http://www.planetchristmas.com/WireSize.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
