Question 1

Can this be buried under ground

Accepted Answer

Hi William,

Thank you for your question and your interest in Clear Power extension cords.

Unfortunately, extension cords are not made for direct burial use. Doing so would act like insulation, preventing the cord to "breathe" and for any heat buildup to dissipate into the air, which would in turn potentially cause a fire, short circuit or worse - damage to the circuit or to a person.

If you need to bury the cord for your particular application, we strongly recommend getting a licensed electrician to run a proper circuit with hard-wiring and protective conduit with an outlet on the other side for you to have power in that location.

Thank you again for asking. I sincerely hope this helps!

Be safe and well,

Jeff

Question 2

Can i run a 120v welder thats on a 20 amp breaker thats pluged into a 15 amp outlet with this extension cord?

Accepted Answer

No. Get yourself a 10/3 extension cord. While the amps you mention are within the welders specs, my personal experience is that stingers like this do not do well with a 12 gauge extension, even though the gauge in your wall is 12. The problem comes down to length of cord, as the longer the cord, the more resistance, which creates more heat to the point of popping the breaker.

Question 3

Can mice chew into this cord? I need to go under the house. Thank you.

Accepted Answer

Hi,

Thanks for your question. Unfortunately there is no predicting what mice will chew through. If you are needing to keep this cord under the house permanently then you may want to look at a hard-wired solution that is protected by conduit.

I hope this helps.

All the best,
