 Posted: Wed May 18, 2016 2:12 pm Post subject: Warm Extension Cord |
 |
|
After reading all of the replies, I have learned that extension cords, under load, can safely get warm to the touch. Interesting. That does reassure me that my cord is not dangerous, since it is only warm (not hot). It's only 25 feet long so it is never coiled up. The places where I use it are 10-15 feet away from where I need power.
I had forgotten about the need for circulating air to cool the wires. The EVSE (charger) does have a built-in facility for coiling/storing the excess cable. Now that it is getting to be summer, I will make a habit of always uncoiling the whole cable. It wasn't an issue it the winter but... St. Louis summer heat + sunshine + electrical current is beyond my comfort zone.
Cheers,
