    I am looking ro run a generator about 80' from my inlet box..My current set up, I have a 30amp inlet box powing a 30 amp breaker in my panel with an interlock kit. I usually just put my generator on side of my house and connect my normal 12' 10/4 so cord from generator to box. Im looking to move my generator to another spot which will make it about 80' from generator to box, question is will an 80' run of 10/4 SO cord be ok ?? generator is 5500 watts and will almost never see that full load..

    There are several EI apps that’ll do it for you. You didn’t spec 110 or 220v AC.

    Edited to update photos. Had 70deg C selected on the last photos. Updated with F.
