Next message: Ron Rogers: "Re: T&T: 30A/50A y adapters"
One analysis might be to quantify the energy-passing capability of
the two alternatives. Electric energy [watts] equals voltage times
amps [ignoring power factor]. A 30 amp 120v circuit is nominally
capable of passing 3,600 watts. A 50 amp 240v circuit is 12,000
watts. Combining two 30 amp circuits [on different legs] gets one to
7,200 watts; well below the capability of the single 50 amp
circuit. Using the adapter and putting a load of greater than 7,200
watts on it might result in popping the ckt breaker on one or both of
the 30 amp feeder legs. Arild, am I wrong?
Regards,
Mike
