100 sats to the first person who can tell me why I wrapped electrical tape around the ends of a perfectly good extension cord.

Length and ampacity denoted using resistor color codes.

Do the numbers make sense? For length and amps?

25', 12A sounds plausible

I'll give it to you, it is a 25' 12awg cord.

Ok, then you get to pull up NEC table 400.5 to determine maximum ampacity run the voltage drop calc every time go to select a cord. Fun times. = {

Let's be honest, it is really the length and a "while I was at it"

We all just always use 12awg and trust the breaker and we know it.
