Maximum power cord length for portable equipment
Maximum power cord length for portable equipment
(OP)
Is there a maximum length for the cord connected to piece of equipment?
Specifically we have portable (wheels attached) infrared heater, 5000 watts, 240 volt, 1 phase, 3 wire which will be plug connected. Is there a limit to the cord length?

This may be a UL /ETL requirement to meet the intent of NEC. I have not typically seen factory attached cords longer than 6 feet.
Also look up uses permitted and not permitted in NEC Article 400 which will restrict how long a flex cord you can have and the requirement of marking etc.
