I purchased a 24" direct drive exhaust fan with the typical black, white and ground wiring designed to be connected directly into the circuit. I would like to convert this connection to a 3-prong cord so I can plug it into a nearby wall socket. The fan's specs are: 120V / 60 Hz / 336 W / 2.8 Amps. Could I safely accomplish this by attaching a 12 gauge, 3 conductor grounded SPT-3 cord or another gauge cord like an SJT? I plan on using this fan only as needed during the summer months and won't need it permanently connected throughout the year. I know a enough about electricity to possibly get myself into trouble. Having never attempted something like this, I thought I'd ask for some experienced advice here. Thanks for your reply.
That fan does not draw enough power to necessitate the use of 12 ga wiring. If it was a 15 amp draw then maybe. You can easily use 14 ga wire and, to make it even easier, if you have an old outdoor extension - use that.
