Extension Cord type for Generator use?
I just purchased a 6000 kw portable generator. Generator has 4 120v connections. One of the connections will be used powering my pellet stove (going to keep this separate from others). One connection will power a refrigerator/freezer (probably keep this on a dedicated line), and two other connections will be used to power several lights and charge phones & PC's.
Based on my description what 'gauge' extension cords do I need to connect to generator for these devises ? 16/3...or 14/3 ? The distance from generator into house will not be more than 75'.
Thoughts?
