--==2697016223629984840== --000000000000d2c50c05797c5e05 Depends on what you are going to do with it. 300' of 16awg drawing 4a will drop about 9.5v. Most things won't care about that low of a voltage

16 awg wire will give you about a 8% drop in voltage. If you are running a light bulb, it should be fineā?? just a bit dimmer. If you are running a motor, there is a higher current draw on startup, w

This ^^ 40W over 300 feet is 0.13 W/ft. Probably get hotter lying in the sun. But regardless, I always unroll my extension cords fully. And in my youth, I burned up a rather large, expensive motor by
I'm glad someone has the patience to be willing to unroll and reroll 300ft of extension cord. John. _______________________________________________ Shop-talk@autox.team.net Donate: http://www.team.ne

So, using 300ft of 16 AWG is going to limit to some extent how powerful your tool is. The question becomes: Are you willing to live with perhaps 20% less power? If you have the cord available, I'd g
