I reviewed previous threads about 50A 125/250V shorepower cables suitable for use with a 50A/250V isolation transformer... especially answers to my previous questions when I wanted to replace an old (forshortened) shorepower cord on the Cablemaster on our then-new-to-us boat. My questions back then were about 3-wire versus 4-wire, 'cause Glendinning listed both at the time.
As I understand the answers, 3-wire is appropriate for use with our isolation transformer, and the connections use L1, L2, and ground. Presumably that'd be black, red, and green, yes? And I was busy fixing other stuff back then, so I just had the yard do the new cable/Cablemaster thing.
So now I'm wanting another extension cord, mostly to be used for a longer run at our home dock (partly to save the Cablemaster cord inside), and thought I'd cut back an older damaged cordset that we have. So far, no clean copper after cutting back about 25'...
And Plan B might mean making up a new extension from parts. That was the long lead up to:
Where the heck does one find 6/3 (black/red/green wires) bulk cable? Glendinning doesn't list 6/3 just now... and all the 6/3 I'm finding is listed for 50A/125V systems (black/white/green).
