Ok.... The power cord will only make a difference IF you go smaller..
smaller gauge will conduct less amps ( power ) and heat up ( wasted energy )
soooo.. If the manufacturer issued the right one, and they do, changeing to a larger gauge IE: from 18 ga to 14 ga, will not make a difference.
going smaller ( 12 ga is code for 20 amps, 14 is code for 15 amps, etc)
or over a longer distance, will cause problems.
hope this answers your question
