can this be used as a dryer extention cord, not used on a generator??

The end connectors will allow you to do this but it really not good practice. Much better to have the dryer close enough to the wall box to plug in directly. If you absolutely have to do it on a strictly temporary basis use the shortest powercord you can get.

I would not. If extention cord is too small the wires could over heat. If you have a 10 gauge wire extention cord it would work.

No.Standard dryer outlets are 30 amp rated outlets (usually). This cord is set up for 50 amp outlets.

I connected to my AC outlet and able to use. It should work with dryer outlet too but careful since its 240v

I plugged the unit into an outdoor grounded/ground fault outlet and ran an extension cord to our outdoor lights --- I don't see why you could not plug it into an extension cord as long as it is a grounded cord. But this would expose the unit to the timer to the elements

I guess it would depend on what you were using at the end of the extension cord. I wouldn't use it with anything that pulls a lot of watts(heaters, hair dryers, curling irons, etc.) Other than that I would think it'd be ok.

More than likely. When I was looking for a new fuse I found there are only about three different kinds that dryers use. Just take off back panel...AFTER YOU UNPLUG IT...and the fuse will be held in by one screw next on the blower assemble located bottom left of the back of the dryer. There will be two wires going to it...mine were blue. If you hook the wires together and dryer starts your fuse is bad. DO NOT run it this way..Can cause a fire. Hope this helps

Yes, as long as the extension cord is 14 gauge or better and if the porch has adequate ventilation. It would be better to put the generator outside.

I am not an electrician. I purchased this cord at the request of the electrician who installed my generator.It works well on my generator. I would ask where you purchased your generator. I cannot give you a qualified answer. I am sorry I could not help you.

Yes according to reliance, you can use this as long as your generator has the standard 30 amp outlet plug that matches this cord. The reliance website lists this cord under accessories and lists it for max 7500 running watts. You should have a 30 amp breaker on your generator where this plugs in, according to reliance this limits the output of the generator to 7500 watts (30 amps times 250 volts = 7500 watts) so it is my understanding that if you were to draw more than the 7500 watts the cord is rated for the breaker would trip so this cord would be fine assuming you have a 30 amp breaker on the generator outlet where this cord plugs in.

Yes as long as the generator has the 30amp outlet. If the generator doesn't have the 30amp outlet you can use an adapter or just use a good 10 or 12 gage cord.

If you're asking about the extension cord that I think you are, you probably can, but I wouldn't recommend your using it for a refrigerator. I tried using that extension cord with a refrigerator I used in the garage, refrigerator developed operating problems, and I had to have repairs made to the refrigerator. I switched to a more heavy duty extension cord and have not had problems with the refrigerator since.

Sorry but no. Because a dryer needs a lot of power, it has a different style of plug. This extension can carry a maximun of 20 Amps, your dryer needs 30 Amps. and uses a large "crowsfoot" plug.

Yes you can! Just start it and run your extension cords to what ever you need! what I did was incorporate it into my household electric breaker box. So when the power goes off for any amount of time...I can just plug the generator into the house....don't have to use any extension cords throughout the house. Make sense? No door cracked open for cords etc.

Basically, electrical cords are rated by the maximum wattage dissipation within the cord. Too technical? Too many watts can cause the cord to overheat. Watts are the product of volts x amps -- and since we normally deal with 120VAC lines, the rating is expressed as amps. This cord can handle 15 amps. Therefore, if your refigerator wattage (usually found on the refigerator or in the manual) is 1800 watts or less, then the extension cord would work just fine.Regards,

Yes but as an extension cord only. It will not screw into the side of your camper.

I usually run extension cords from the generator to the appliance in question (fridge, sump pump, etc).
