I have a question about my Gast 0523-P335-G509DAX 220 VAC Vacuum Pump. I have 10 ft of [16/3 SJO Oil Resistant] electrical cord. It will take about 7' to go from the placement of the pump to the 220 outlet. My question is this. Is the cord heavy enough to carry the load without current loss. It will plug in to it's own 20 amp isolated circuit right next to the 20 amp isolated circuit for the lathe. If all this is over-kill please let me know. My thought is to err on the high side not the low.
Any help would be appreciated.
