[QUOTE="RYAN LOUDMUSIC JENKINS, post: 99622, member: 70"] Re: Plugged Power Amps Into 30 Amp Circuit And Sparks Stared Flying You measure too late and wrong. I have NEVER seen a spider box with a 125 volt, 30 amp outet. Every single one is 250 volts, except a couple of mine which were changed out to 125/250 volts L14-30 with an added neutral. When you measure hot to ground you will still see 125 volts but hot to hot will be 250 volts, or in your case ~248 volts. Whoever made the adapter screwed up. You then screwed up by using it. Then you screwed up a second time by turning another amp on after frying the first. They probably jammed an L5-20p into it and forced it so hard that it actually went in. Hopefully you just toasted a couple fuses. [/QUOTE]
