NEMA 6-50P, NEMA 6-50R Extension Cords
The NEMA 6-50 heavy-duty extension cord is engineered for high-power, industrial-grade applications, including MIG/TIG welders, plasma cutters, Level 2 EV chargers (e.g., Tesla Mobile Connector or J1772 adapters), generators, and heavy machinery. This 3-prong locking cord (NEMA 6-50P male to 6-50R female) delivers up to 12,500 watts at 250 volts, with a robust design that minimizes voltage drop over long runs, ensuring consistent performance in workshops, garages, or outdoor sites. UL-listed for electrical safety, it features pure copper conductors and a flexible, weatherproof jacket to withstand abrasion, oil, moisture, and extreme temperatures. Custom lengths from 6 feet to over 100 feet are readily available from manufacturers, supporting tailored solutions for mobile welding rigs, EV home setups, or commercial installations.
