Hello,
I'm trying to shop around for a possible extension cord for this 250v, 50amp outlet.
We'd be trying to use an electric dryer from this, but would preferably have it extend nearer a window on the other side of a garage (~25-30 ft, generous measurement). We'd likely pick up an older, used, basic dryer model, and not sure what those electrical needs will specifically be, but trying to plan ahead in case something needs to be altered.
This is the closest I've found which might work:

Most other cords with 3 prongs had them sort of curved/circular. Yet, this says only 30 amps.
Is there different or specific wording which might assist my search? Or would something like the above cord work for our situation?
Thank you for taking the time to read my post. I appreciate any advice or directions.
Not an electrician - but if you don't see a cable out there, it might be for a good reason. Running copper cable to relocate the outlet from current location to new location might be a solution - and something that -depending on your comfort level and situation, could be doable diy.
Electric dryers I've seen typically have different outlet type. Might be worth looking up their v / amps so you are sure the right gauge wire is running from panel to outlet.
Dont go fooling with this if you don't 100% know what youre doing.
