UDM cord extension

[68pawm]

I have just received my UDM in the UK which I intend to plug into a 240 to 110v step down transformer with US plug outlets that I have however the lead on the UDM is quite short so I would like to purchase a 120v - 50 ft extension lead with US connections which will allow me more freedom to reach the whole car.

Can anyone recommend a suitable good quality extension lead which could be purchased over the internet. I have a friend who lives in the US who could purchase it for me but who knows nothing about anything electrical so I could send her the web page to keep things simple from which she can order one and then send it on to me in the UK.



Thanks

Peter

Peter,



Your friend simply needs to visit a Home Depot hardware store and ask for a grounded 50` extension cord. In that length, that`s all they will have anyway. Your color choices will be orange or dark green.

Thanks for all the advise guys, problem now sorted.



I found a store on the www that sold just the plugs so my friend ordered one of each end sent them to me and i have wired them on to some extension lead cable that i allready had. all works a treat.
