I am getting all the pieces to put together a rims controller and am trying to find a power supply cord. I am trying to do things the right way but am a bit confused.
I will be running a 2000W 120V element and a chugger pump off the controller. the element should draw 16.5 amps and the pump another 1.5.
Now looking for a power cord. I am either going to use an extension cord or piece together bulk cord and add the ends. I have seen people say 12/3 is sufficient but when I went shopping all the 12/3 cords were rated 15 amps. Should I go with some bulk 10/3.
Any advice would be appreciated.
