[QUOTE="Marlow Wilson, post: 25174, member: 47"] Re: Cable and Recepticle Ratings I think the confusion is that the CS connector is the defacto standard while the L14-50 is a rare beast. I know I have never seen one. For SR applications, using whatever is commonly available makes sense. Richard, I still don't completely understand your setup, but having a 50 amp plug on wiring and devices rated for 15 amps is asking for trouble, even if you use it safely, the potential for someone else do hook it up in a way that could be dangerous would make me look for other options. Why not just use L14-20? No additional breakers are needed on the truss and nothing can be connected in a way that could be dangerous if using a standard L14-20 outlet. [/QUOTE]
