Generator Cord + Plug-in Frequently Asked Questions:
What is a generator cord and what is its purpose?
A generator cord is used to transfer power from the generator to a tool, appliance or your home. Generator cords come in varying lengths and gauges. Choose a cord with amperage that matches your generator’s most powerful outlet.
Can I use a regular extension cord as a generator cord?
Using “regular” extension cords is not recommended for generator use. Generator cords are made specifically to work with generators and offer the best performance and safety.
How long should a generator cord be for safe, efficient use?
Generator cords are available in a wide variety of lengths. Generator cords that are too long, however, result in the loss of amperage and voltage, making your generator work harder. Shorter cords are more efficient in delivering electricity.
What safety precautions should I take when using a generator cord?
Make sure the cord has the rated watts and amps for the intended use, and that it fits your generator’s outlet. Before use, inspect the cord to ensure it is fully intact with no cuts or frays. If possible, keep cords away from traffic areas.
Are generator plugs universal, or do they vary depending on the brand or model?
The plugs on generator cords are not necessarily brand specific but are designed to fit specific outlets on your generator. Common plug types on generator cords include 3-prong, 4-prong, Twist-Lock and Straight Blade plugs.
