Cords

Frequently asked questions If the output of an electrical outlet is only 100volts, what would be the affect on an appliance?

If I had 4amps of equipment on a 1000ft 12 gauge extension cord, the voltage drop would be about 10 volts. if the outlet is 110 what would be the affect on the appliance / appliances (ex how dim would a light become)?

Know an answer?


Answer 1000 ft of 12ga. extension cord is about 3.2 to 3.7 ohms (for two conductors), for a 4A load voltage of 107.2 to 105.2VAC with a 120VAC source. This is low for some equipment.

Electric motors will run hot and could overheat. Incandescent lights will be about 65% as bright but last longer. Heaters will make about 22% less heat. Computers and laptops etc. run down to 100VAC with no troubles.

    Nikon D4 Hands-on Preview

    Nikon's professional workhorse digital SLR camera gets more than a single-digit upgrade to its model number in the new D4. Though encased in a body of similar size and shape to its predecessors, the Nikon D4 now uses a 16.2-megapixel full-frame CMOS sensor backed up by a new EXPEED 3 image processor. Nikon expects the combination to deliver very high dynamic range and low noise across a wide range of ISO settings.

    But the improvements don't stop there. Largely eliminating the need for a flashlight in low-light situations, many of the Nikon D4's buttons are illuminated; a great idea for a high-end camera whose key feature is excellent performance in low light. Indeed, while standard ISO settings range from 100 to 12,800, that can be extended to 50 on the low end and 204,800 on the high side. Pretty impressive.
