Eaton Tripp Lite Series Power Extension Cord, NEMA L6-30P to NEMA L6-30R - Heavy-Duty, 30A, 250V, 14 ft. (4.27 m), Black

Meet the Eaton Tripp Lite Series Power Extension Cord — a rugged, reliable solution engineered for high-demand power delivery where stability and safety matter most. This heavy-duty extension cord is built to handle demanding equipment in industrial, commercial, and entertainment environments, making it a trusted choice for generators, welders, stage lighting, air compressors, and other 30A, 250V applications. Featuring sturdy 10 AWG copper conductors, a generous 14-foot length, and durable twist-lock connectors, it delivers consistent performance with reduced voltage drop and enhanced safety. The black jacket is designed to withstand the rigors of busy job sites and outdoor settings, while the L6-30P to L6-30R configuration provides secure, twist-lock connections that resist accidental unplugging when equipment is in active use. Whether you’re at a construction site, a venue, or a workshop, this power extension cord gives you the flexibility to position equipment exactly where you need it without compromising power quality or protection.

• Heavy-Duty Performance for Demanding Loads: This cord is rated for 30 amps at 250 volts, anchored by robust 10 AWG copper conductors that help minimize voltage drop over the full 14-foot length. With a rugged construction, it maintains strong power delivery even when equipment draws high current, ensuring reliable operation for motors, generators, HVAC units, and other high-draw devices. The length is long enough to reach distant outlets while keeping a safe, organized setup, reducing the need for daisy-chaining or improvised power solutions. This combination of amperage capacity, voltage rating, and conductor size makes it ideal for professional workflows where reliability matters as much as safety.
• Secure, Twist-Lock Connectors for Peace of Mind: The cord features NEMA L6-30P male plugs and NEMA L6-30R female receptacles designed for twist-lock engagement. This design provides a secure, vibration-resistant connection that won’t loosen or pull apart when equipment moves or vibrations occur on job sites or during transport. The molded connectors deliver enhanced grip and reliability, and the twist-lock mechanism helps maintain a stable power path in busy environments, reducing the risk of accidental disconnects that can interrupt critical operations.
• Weather-Ready Durability for Indoor and Outdoor Use: The black jacket is built to withstand demanding environments, including outdoor settings, workshops, and staging areas. The jacket protects against abrasion, moisture, and incidental exposure to the elements, helping to prolong the life of the cord in tough conditions. The overall build emphasizes durability and safety, allowing you to rely on this extension cord for prolonged periods without downtime, weather concerns, or frequent replacements.
• Versatile Applications Across Industries: This power extension cord is well-suited for generators, heavy machinery, welding rigs, stage lighting, and other heavy-duty equipment that require a 30A, 250V connection. With its reliable conductors and rugged construction, it’s a preferred option for construction sites, rental houses, studios, and industrial facilities where dependable power distribution is essential. The 14-foot length offers flexibility for room-to-outlet reach while keeping the wiring organized and neatly arranged around heavy equipment.
• Safety and Quality You Can Trust: From the Eaton Tripp Lite lineage, this cord emphasizes safety, efficiency, and longevity. It is designed to meet strict industry standards for high-current extension cords, delivering dependable operation and reducing the risk of overheating or electrical faults. The combination of UL-listed components, robust insulation, and secure connectors ensures you have a consistent power path with minimized electrical noise, more stable voltage delivery, and greater confidence during peak workloads.

how to install Eaton Tripp Lite Series Power Extension Cord

• Inspect before use: Check the entire cord for cuts, nicks, or exposed conductors. Do not use a damaged cord, as compromised insulation can lead to shock or fire hazards.
• Plan your layout: Position equipment so the 14-foot cord reaches the power source without stretching or bending around sharp edges. Keep the cord away from heat sources, moving machinery, and moisture-prone areas to extend its life.
• Connect securely: Insert the NEMA L6-30P plug firmly into a compatible 250V, 30A outlet. Ensure the twist-lock engages fully to resist accidental disconnection during operation.
• Attach to equipment: Connect the NEMA L6-30R receptacle end to the input on your generator, welding unit, stage light rack, or other 30A equipment. Confirm a clean, dry connection and maintain a clear pathway for the cord to avoid tripping hazards.
• Secure and test: Use proper strain relief to minimize movement at the connector interfaces. Power up at a low load first to verify that the device operates correctly and monitor for any unusual heat or odor. If anything seems abnormal, shut down and recheck connections or replace the cord if damaged.
