Characteristics of garden extension cords
In the garden, you can not only relax by sitting on the terrace, but also use various types of devices and machines that are powered by electricity. Therefore, you need to choose a garden extension cord that has really good technical parameters, but you cannot forget about the length of the cord. If the extension cord is used outdoors, it must have the appropriate tightness class. A garden extension cord with IP 44 tightness class will work well. It is resistant to splashing water, and also very tight and protected against solid objects with a diameter of 1 mm getting into the structure. This extension cord is also resistant to changing weather conditions and dust. It may also have additional protection in the form of flaps. Another important aspect is the rated current load. For simple work, a garden extension cord with a rated current of 10 A will work well. This means that with a mains voltage of 230 V, the device is powered by 2300 W. This model can be easily connected to a single-phase installation. Three-phase garden extension cords are also available, but they are intended for heavy equipment. These are power extension cords. They cannot be plugged into a regular socket. We also need to talk about length. Various variants are available, e.g. models with a length of 10, 20 or even 50 meters. If your garden is small, a 20-meter extension cord will be sufficient.
What is the difference between a garden pole and a regular extension cord?
A garden extension cord is not exactly the same as a garden power pole . Reel extension cords are very popular. It is a garden cable wound on a drum. The drum is rotated using a special crank, which allows the cable to be rolled up and unwound. Extension cords can withstand a really heavy load. Most often, the rated current is 16 A, while for extension cords with unrolled cables, the power is set at 3500 or 3600 W. A garden post has a completely different form. It can also be used to connect a lawn mower, car vacuum cleaner or drill. In winter it can power Christmas lights. It is equipped with hermetically closed sockets. As the name suggests, it has the form of a pole, so it is very stable. Equipment is connected to it. It is also worth knowing that its height may vary and it should be adjusted to your needs.
