Hi all,
Recently bought a 3HP DC for the basement. I need to add about 40' to the current length of the cord so I run it to the dedicated 30-amp, 14-30r outlet.
Question that I'm embarrassed to be asking after the amount of research I've already attempted. Should I:
- Buy a 50' extension cord?
- Rewire the DC? If so (and here's the one that's confused me most), what type of cord won't break the bank? I think I need 10/3, right? But I tried to do this with Romex the other day before realizing it wasn't stranded. I'd needed stranded right?
Help a dummy out!
Thank you!
