For the short distance of 50 feet no voltage drop calculations are needed.
A #10 copper conductor with a insulation factor of 60, 75 or 90 degrees C is rated at 30 amps respectively. This conductor can legally be loaded to 80% capacity. This allows 30 x .8 = 24 amps. If the device draws more that 24 amps then go to the next wire size which is a #8. A #8 copper conductor with an insulation factor of 75 and 90 degrees C is rated at 45 amps respectively. This legally allows 45 x .8 = 36 amps to flow on the wire. Of course with this size wire only 30 amps will be allow to flow before the breaker will trip.
What else can I help you with?
Can you replace a 13 amp 125 volt appliance cord with a 15 amp 125 volt cord?
Yes, no problem at all going to a larger ampacity of wire. Larger size wire yes, smaller size wire no.
In selecting a wire size for a line cord remember that?
the wire size should be appropriate for the maximum current the device will draw to prevent overheating or voltage drop. It is important to follow electrical code and safety guidelines when selecting a wire size for a line cord. Consider factors such as voltage, current, and length of the cord when choosing the appropriate wire size.
