50 amp service can handle a power consumption Up To 50 amps, an (Example would be ,10awg copper wire, 120volts 1-phase, 30 feet cord, at 50 amps. The voltage drop will be 3.7, volts on load end is 116.3 which is a voltage % drop of 3.1.) My 233s Roo rated consumption is 30 amps,( Example would be : 10awg copper wire, 120volts 1-phase, 30 feet cord, at 30 amps. The voltage drop will be 2.2, volts on load end is 117.8, which is a voltage % drop of 1.8.) I still use my surge protector with A 2' RUGGED built adapter that disperses heat rather well, I purchased online. So far, so good. A safety concern would be the longer the cord , there is more voltage drop. ( quick example, at 30 amps, 10 awg copper, 50' cord, 96.1 volts on load end.) Your a/c will struggle to run properly. Hope this helps.
