My staging area is out behind the barn, it takes 2 100ft extension cords to reach, so I don't put any loads on it, hardly even run my 4.5 amp mini grinder. Got a fridge out there now I'd like to check, but no way I'll try it on those little cords. I pulled the AC out of a window I'd wired it to several years ago, and recently pulled the wire from that jack to head towards the barn with. It's 220 from the main box (dual 20 amp breakers) and reaches halfway across the back yard, from where I'll tag in an old dryer/oven wire(not really sure what it was from, but it's heavy, 8 awg) that'll add another 60 ft, to a box where I'll put 2 15 amp GFCI plugs(stepping it down to 110 at that point) with a good ground rod beside it, and that'll get me within the reach of an extra heavy 70 ft extension cord which I hope will be good for near 15 amp surge, because that's where most appliance and heavy power tools reach at startup
