Will a 50 ft, 15 Amp cord work with this lawn mower which is 13 Amp?

Yes, I use a 100' foot cord with it with no apparent problems and no heat build-up at the plug.

Not sure I can answer the question directly. I use mine for a 15 amp snow blower. I've had no problems with the 100' cord.

I have an older model B&D; 12 amp version of this mower. If you are using a 50 foot or less extension cord I recommend a 14 gauge. This will pass enough amps to keep from burning up your mower motor. If you are using 100 foot cord go with a 12 gauge. I burned up the plug on my 1st 12 amp mower using a 14 gauge 100 foot cord and had to replace the mower because of a power dip. It caused a fire that melted the plug.

I use a regular 13amp low temp for flexibility 100' extension cord although a 15amp rated cord would be a better choice.

The saw is designed to operate on a 15 amp circuit; therefore, you should not use less than a 14 gauge electrical cord. If you are using a very long extension cord then you need to move up to the next gage wire. I use a 100 ft. cord with my saw and it is 12 gage. The longer the cord the greater resistance and hence the greater the voltage loss in conductor. You can offset the voltage loss by moving up to a larger conductor that has less resistance. Hope this helps.

Yes, that should be more than adequate. No more than 50 feet, you could probably get by with a 16 gauge extension cord, so the 12 gauge will insure even less voltage drop, especially considering the charger will, at most, only be putting out 1.5 amps.

It does not. Make sure when buying your cord you account for the amperage this device will draw. In other words, if you go for 100ft, you'll need a 12ga cord. 14ga would probably be fine for shorter distances. Don't skimp on the cord, get a good one or the blower won't work to its full potential.

I looked at several sites that discussed this. A 14 gauge 100 ft. cord can handle 13 amps. You may wish to go to a 12 gauge cord just to be on the safe side.

Since I needed a 100' in length, it had to be at least 14 gauge. If the cord is too small, the motor will burn up. You cannot just use any old extension cord. I bought this cord from amazon. US Wire 65100 12/3 100-Foot SJTW Orange Heavy Duty Extension Cord

Manual says for 6 to 10 amp rating, use a minimum of 16 gauge for 26-50 foot cord. 14 Gauge for 51 to 100 foot cord. I use 16 gauge on a 25 foot cord. Larger is always better especially if you are going through tall grass or Bermuda like me. Hope this helps.

It does not come with a cord. I purchased a 14 gauge, 15 amp, 50 foot cord. The motor on the machine is a 13.5 amp motor so you don't want to use less than a 14 gauge, 50 or 100 foot cord to get the full amps out of the motor.

Yes. Without a doubt. I have a 15 amp electric snowblower. If you don't need 100ft. and just 50ft. You could use the 14 gauge wire.

You would have to change the ends due to dryer plugs being difference. Also, this is a 30 AMP, 125 V, single pole cord whereas dryer cords are 2 pole meaning that two lines hot (110 V each for a total of 220 V at 15 amps each for a total of 30 AMPs). Care would have to be used on the load specifications and such. It might be cheaper to go to a store and buy 50 ft (or whatever you need) of the right wire and two plugs and make your own extension cord. Menards/Lowes have the available parts.

For any power equiptment, it's best to check the instructions that came with the item. As a general rule, most of my equipment - power washer, small chipper, etc, they seem to require a a 14/3 in 50 foot length, but go up to 12/3 for 100 foot length cord. And some, (like a string trimmer), which do not use as much power, call for 16/3 up to 50 foot, and 14/3 up to 100 foot length. Check the instructions for the best advise, or check the web site.

the plug from the mower is about 18 inches, so you will need a 50 foot extension cord.

This cord puts you at 90% of the circuit ampacity this unit should have a 60 amp circuit. Number 4 wire back to the circuit breaker would be the correct choice. This cord may work but the downside is possible conductor heating and nuisance breaker tripping assuming you are on a 50 amp breaker.

It will work fine as long as your not gonna use more than 50-75 feet of extension cord. Any longer and Id go with a 12 gauge cord
