The American Wire Gauge System (AWG) rates the amount of current an extension cord can safely transmit based on the gauge (thickness) of the wire--the larger the wire, the smaller the AWG number. For instance, a 12 AWG wire is larger than a 14 AWG wire and can power tools and appliances with higher wattage ratings. The AWG rating is especially important with longer cords, since the power-carrying capacity decreases with length. This premium-grade UL-listed 12 AWG cord can power a 15-amp, 125-volt (15 amp X 125 volts = 1875 watts) appliance at a distance of 50 feet from the power outlet. Since extension cords are less expensive than replacing tools or appliances ruined by operating at incorrect wattage levels, bigger is almost always better when it coves to power extension cords.
