Figure 3. Relationship moments in balance The proposed crane in this paper reduces the ballast and eliminates the anchor, since it will be auto balancing''. The concept of self-balancing involves eliminating anchoring system, which is replaced by a movable counterweight as shown in Fig. 4. Figure 4.
L5-20 and L5-30 Cords â 120V. Many of the higher end portable generators have a L5-30R outlet. This is handy as it allows you to connect a L5-30P to the generator and use a multiple type 5 outlet at the other end allowing you to use 2 or 3 tools or appliances that use less than the total rated amps or 3600 watts.
A cord, based on its gauge, can power an appliance of a certain wattage only at specific distances. As the cord gets longer, the current carrying capacity of the cord gets lower. For example, a 16 gauge extension cord less than 50 feet in length can power a 1625 watt (W) appliance. A 16 gauge cord that is longer than 50 feet in length can only power an appliance up to 1250W. Typically, outdoor extension cords will have a number on the packaging or in the listing that looks like this: 12/3.
