[Ansteorra] Pennsic extension cord

[Adrienne Ferrell via Ansteorra]

Greetings Your Majesty,


I think you'll need about 200 feet of extension cord for your A/C at 
Pennsic. From what I was able to gather you'll loose 12% or more on a 
200 foot run
of 10 gage.  I don't think thinner cord would work for 3000 watts needed 
for start up of the A/C.

If you send the cords up with sir Wilhelm, we can get it plugged in and 
buried when we do the kitchens.

I also read "Room Size Large 115 Volt Air Conditioners.......
     Large room-size air conditioners are typically rated from 8,000 
BTUs up to 12,000 BTUs, although some modern types may even reach 15,000 
BTUs. These air conditioners draw 10 amps or more and must be plugged 
into a dedicated outlet. If any other appliance is plugged into the same 
outlet, the breaker will not be able to support the added amperage and 
it will trip the circuit."

I am not sure how many separate  circuits are over there,but I see the 
possibility of them being tripped.  If you haven't ordered yet, you may 
consider something under 8000 BTUs to be less problematic.

I was thinking about getting some large fans for the common tent if it 
is hot again this year.  They only pull about 175 watts.

sincerely,
Seraphina
