USE OF EXTENSIONS
When using an extension cable, double check you are using the gauge that will suffice to transport the current
the pump needs. A lower gauge cable will cause power drops in the line resulting in power loss and motor
overheating
The following table shows the right size to be used depending on cable's length and the ampere capability
shown in the nameplate. If you have any doubts use the next higher gauge. Remember, the lower the gauge,
the heavier the cable will be. Double check the extension cable is in good repair and it has a ground conductor.
Minimum gauge for extension cords (AWG)
(For 127V~ only)
Ampere Capacity
(1) Is allowed to use only when the extensions have a built in over current protection artifact.
(2) One conductor shall be a ground conductor. All the conductors are the same designation (gauge) including
the ground one.
