Which extension cord to choose to connect a change house from home?
Hello, I bought a change house for household needs, but I do not want to connect it to the power supply, as this is not particularly necessary. However, if necessary (in rare cases), if lighting or connecting any electrical appliance is required in the room, can I use an extension cord from the outlet from the house to the change house? House from the change house 4 meters. If this option is possible and it does not pose a danger, then tell me which extension cord to buy? Thank you and sorry for the female ignorance.

Good afternoon! In your case, it is important to understand what load will be connected in the cabin. If this is lighting and some kind of household appliance, then the maximum load will be 2-2.5 kW. In this case, you can choose an extension cord with a wire cross section of 1.5 mm2. It is able to withstand a load of up to 16A, this is quite enough. In addition, the outlet in the house to which you will connect the extension cord is also designed for 10 or 16A. Check this moment so that there is no overload, you never know. There is probably no grounding in the house, but it is better to choose an extension cord with a three-wire wire, i.e. 3 * 1.5 should be indicated. Also, do not save on an extension cord, do not buy the cheapest one, check with a consultant which one is better. By the quality of the assembly, it will be possible to understand how good the internal performance is. In general, the best option is to make an extension cord with your own hands, buying a 10 meters VVG cable, a euro plug and a patch outlet (double or triple). In this case, it will be reliable and inexpensive in principle. Read more about assembling the extension cord here: https://our.electricianexp.com/en/kak-sdelat-elektricheskij-udlinitel.html
