    It doesn't parallel the outlets. It simply "adapts" the connectors but
    includes a circuit that protects against reversed polarity.

    It also keeps an exposed male plug from being "hot" until both
    plugs are connected properly.

    As you wrote
    it provides 240 vac. It will not double the amps at 120 vac.

    I would assume all of this is done with relays but it might include
    some electronics.

    =================================================

    Then what does Margery's $400.00 "Y" adapter do? Physically, it takes two 30
    amp connects and translates that into one 50amp 240V connection. How?

    ================================================

    | Usually there is 240 vac between the "hot" wires on two 30 amp
    | outlets on the dock so you cannot parallel the outlets.
