the difference of opinion has turned into some very bad feelings between friends.
Nothing like an argument about the mysteries of electricity to divide friends.
You've been given some pretty lousy advice. Yes, it *can* be a problem IF your extension cord is too long or small. But what will usually happen then is the a/c won't even start. And that thing about the 'fuse'.. well, first off you have breakers, not fuses, and they blow when there's TOO much current (amps). And I really don't understand CamperPaul's advice either.
To be as safe as possible you really need a voltmeter. Measure it without the a/c running, then measure it with it running. If there's much of a drop (like 5 volts) then you probably shouldn't be running it. Also, if the connecting plugs get hot after a few minutes, then absolutely don't run it.
"Please respond".. lol, like anybody has to say that around here!
