does the wire good for portable generator use?? Are all three wires made of copper??

Yes, I use it for my Honda generator and it works perfect. All the wires are copper.

Yes, all three wires are made of copper and are individually insulated. There is heavy insulation in the cable which makes it thick. My only concern with using it with a 120 volt portable generator would be to make sure your chosen plug and receptacle can handle a thick cord.

It does work well for portable generators, note that you will need to by and attach the appropriate connectors. The wires are stranded pure copper.

Hi. Wyobuyer,I don't know it for sure. But my best educated guess is it has primary and secondary windings because it is very heavy, not made by electronic components. It should be made by copper wires - The old-way of transformers. I don't know if it separated/isolated. I can test it with my multi-meter this weekend and let you know by Monday.FYI, it has been working very well for me since I got it. Never had any problems, never get hot with a 1200W soy-milk maker.Regards,Chenggong Liu

No, the tiny wires are solid copper. it has 8 jacketed copper wires inside an exterior, weather proof, black jacket. The wires are Orange, Orange & White, Blue, Blue and White, Green, Green and White, Brown, Brown & White. It is for networking computers and internet connections.

Wires have all been made of copper for the past 50-60 years. Prior to that there have been different mixtures involving aluminum but there's no such thing as being incompatible just because its a different metal.

You can do a lot of things, but not necessarily to code. There are 4 wires on the L14-30 so that you have two hot conductors, a neutral and an earth ground. The ground is very important for safety reasons, as well as equipment life. You would be better off properly installing the matching hookup to your generator so that there is no question.

This is wonderful for bigger wires , set it up ( easy) and pull thru , I would recommend buying the coppermine , handheld for small wires ,This item is easy to set up and use , the small hand held is wonderful for small wires.you will be very happy with this item compared with other items

Unusual question, but yes. It is wire. If your connections match voltage and current will flow.

I think it will be under rated. Look at your generator's manual and see what they recommend.I am sure it would be #8 wire or bigger if you are going to be running a load at 8000 watts.http://www.generatorgrader.com/extension-cords-portable-generators/

to tell u the truth idk but it is pretty strong.i dont use mine anymore but i used to put all three of my roughyens in it.i think it may be a very well wrapped wire i loved it.mine are grown now and i no longer use it but its still in perfect shape.k.arebear71@yahoo.com

This item, completely made of plastic, is not made to be grounded. It is for use in DC circuits like automobiles, boats, etc. That is why only the positive wire is distributed through it.

The purpose that the generator be grounded is protection against electrical shock. The frame of the generator would need to be connected to a brass or copper rod that is put into the ground. The proper grounding wire that is listed in the manual is No. 12 AWG (American Wire Gauge) stranded with copper. That will provide adequate protection against electrical shock. You can also consult with a local electrical for grounding requirements in the area. If you have any more questions please let us know.

Hello. I used mine for a 12V system. I am looking at one of mine that I haven't used yet right now.. there is no rating on it at all! Strange! The terminals on the end are not very big, like for a smaller gauge of wire that would be safe for a relay application but not large enough for 110 house wire. It's actually made pretty nice. So..I'm sorry that I am not much more help. Good luck

The CCA makes it to where this is aluminum wire stranded that is wrapped in copper. It's a lot thicker but cheaper than the same load of wire made of solid or stranded copper. it's also quite flexible. It says it's Rated for 250A load @ 20' so you need to decide on the load you're trying to pull with this wire and the run of it as well.

No unfortunately, they are not purely copper. I believe it is an alloy. The wire appears silver in color, thus cannot be a single conductor made of copper.

It has copper. I used it for a CCTV system and had no problems. Good quality cable.

Yes it is. This is actually a bit bigger than the 0awg standard. Dont skimp out with cheep wires, stick with good brands such as knu. Many cheep brands claim to be 0awg but they are really 4 gauge or sometimes even higher with lots of insulation on the wire. Hope this helped

Anything wth a 4g-0g wire kit an anl fuse not those crap mag fuse An platnum or nickel better then copper and you might want to do what is called the big 3
