[QUOTE="Silas Pradetto, post: 30750, member: 34"] Re: L5-30 wire for 220V? The I-Tech will handle the 208 volts just fine. The question is, is plugging a 20-amp rated cordset into a 30-amp plug going to be a problem? The I-Tech has a 20-amp breaker, but is leaving the short cord unprotected OK? Also, are you OK with putting L6-30 plugs on your I-Tech cords? Did you notice that the cords the I-Techs come with for foreign (read: 240V) use are much smaller gauge than the American cord? I literally am asking here- I don't know the code well enough to give an answer. My strong recommendation, based on your limited knowledge of power distribution, is to not touch anything...just plug into the wall. If it's a gig big enough to warrant big power, then it should be big enough to pay an electrician to tie a distro in. [/QUOTE]
