ANAN 8000dle (200 watts) power cord

Post by banjoenvy »

In my new location, I need to make a new power cord about 5 feet longer than the OEM cord to reach my power supply. I need to know the wire gage and the anderson power pole sizes to install on the new cord.

Thanks for your help, 73

Handy calculator here: https://www.calculator.net/voltage-drop ... &x=62&y=21

I'd try to keep the drop at around .5V or less. Adjust your power supply voltage up a bit, but I also wouldn't exceed 14V.

30A Powerpoles should be fine. 50A if you want to over do it.
