Amperage shown is for not more than three conductors in a cord. If cord has from four to six conductors, decrease the values shown.

*Yacute;The ampacities under subheading A are applicable to three-conductor cords and four-conductor cords with three conductors carrying current. The ampacities under subheading B are applicable to two-conductor cords and three-conductor cords with two conductors carrying current.

NOTE: On extension cords over 50 feet, derate by two wire sizes.
