I need some advice on what specifications of extension cord I need. I am not familiar with some of the specs that are displayed on a product website. I need a retractable cord reel (max 30 ft), that will be connected to an electric hoist. The hoist puts out 0.8 HP, 10 amps @ low volts, 120V. I am not sure what kind of cord I need to operate this safely. The specifications I do not understand are as follows:
Gauge/Conductor - Ext.Cords and Outlet Strips
Max. Amps - Ext. Cords and Outlet Strips
Feeder Cord Ending - NEMA Configuration
Cord Ending - NEMA Configuration
I understand that the NEMA configuration has to do with the protection of the ends. I am not familiar with what NEMA configuration is right for an outside (covered) environment. Could anyone help?
