ginbart----- Sorry sometimes I get carried away. okay watts divided by voltage equals amps. So in your case if you are using the extension cord for your cookie tin heater (25w) and a 60w light bulb. 25+60 = 85w 85w divided by 110v = .772 amps At that load actually a 16 gauge cord would...

Yes! #12 ga copper may be "overkill" but power up to 20 amps would be available. #14 ga while big enough for 15 amps of service in theory, and used in dang near every home being built today, over a distance 200 ft if anything beside a light bulb is needed in the future it wwould not be adaquate...

watts divided by volts equal amps 14 ga extension cords are good for a max of 15 amps up to 100' after that voltage drop would come into play. No problem running a light bulb or maybe a small heated waterer. Her in La we do not need the heated waterers so I am not familiar with electrical...
