Guys,

I need about 300 get of extension cord. 16 AWG was fine at 100 ft. Can I
string 3 of those together without a problem, or should I go up a size?
Draw is 4 amps.


What sort of load? Resistive, or ?

What sort of duty cycle?

What sort of duration?

In general, it's probably ok, but still wouldn't hurt to have some details.
