Question 1

Is this product made in the USA?

Accepted Answer

Made in USA, was trying to post a picture of the front of the box but it wont let

Question 2

Is it all copper wire or copper coated aluminum?

Accepted Answer

I took the time to look up the manufacturer of the Yellow Jacket extension cords. Based on what is at the website, their extension cords wire utilize all copper wire strands. They do not build their cords with aluminum strands.

Question 4

Does it works with 220 volt

Accepted Answer

As mentioned by others, the ends of this cord are of the standard US 120 volt type.  As long as you can work with these ends, this cord is completely capable of carrying 220 volts at the same amperage as it could for 120 volts.  The increase in voltage has (at this level) has nothing to do with the current carrying capability of this cord.  The big advantage of 220 volt systems is that you can get twice the power through the wires at the same current.  For example, if you had a ten amp load at 120 volts, the watts used by this load would be 120 x 10 = 1200 watts.  Whereas, if you drew ten amps at 220 volts, the watts used by the load would be 220 x 10 = 2200 watts -- almost double the power at the same current.  Likewise, if you needed to feed a 1000 watt load, it would take 1000/120 = 8.33 amps at 120 volts; and if you could power a 1000 watt load with 220 volts, it would draw only 1000/220 = 4.55 amps.  That's nearly half the current, and commensurately less heating in the extension cord.  If you could tolerate the same heating (wasted power due to resistance in the cord) you could get away with a smaller diameter copper wire.  That's one of the main reasons why most of the rest of the world uses 220 -- they can use smaller diameter wire, using, therefore, much less copper.  That's less expense and less weight.  WARNINGS: Please do not attempt to power a device designed for only 120 volts from anything much more than that!  Also, note that it is far, far easier to reach the fatal level of just 35 milliamps of current through your body with 220 volts. Let me say that again: 220 volts is very dangerous and much deadlier than 120 volts.  European contacts are only metal at the tip, so as to thwart your fingertips from touching the metal sides of the prongs.
