In order to get the proper amperage, generator power cords are manufactured and rated to certain specifications. Even the length of the cord comes into play, which means you must know the exact length that you require as you cannot simply purchase two smaller cords and put them together like a common extension wire even if they are rated the same.

The reason behind this is that the length and wire size is manufactured in a certain way to ensure minimal line loss and once you start adding length to the cord it will no longer perform as needed.

There are a wide range of options to choose from when looking for an ideal generator power cord from 15 amp ratings to 30 amp cords along with a series of connectors and a lot of generator power cord manufacturers will give you the option to build your own custom power cord in order to ensure that you have the exact wire sizes and minimize voltage losses for your desired length of wire.

The most common types of generator power cords on the market at 5, L5, L14, 14, TT and CS. These cords are related to the receptacle labels in that a reading such as L14-30P means that it is a twist lock, 30 amp Plug. Learning the lingo is a great way to narrow down what you need, before you start talking with an expert.

Once you know what you need, seeking out that expert manufacturer is the next best step to take in order to ensure that you are receiving the best possible product that will keep your generator running. There are a lot of things to know when it comes to generator power cords, so it can never hurt to consult a knowledgeable generator power cord manufacturer.
