[QUOTE="Silas Pradetto, post: 18852, member: 34"] Re: Power Connectors Looking at the diagram, I'm actually a bit wrong in the OP. The 10-30 and 10-50 are the dryer and range plugs, but I also commonly see 6-30 and 6-50s. Neither the 6- or 10- receptacles are legal, although the 6- receptacles would be with a transformer. The 10- series have no ground, which a transformer wouldn't help. I'm sure Phil was going to suggest that the ungrounded plugs are legal if a distro is connected to an external ground source, but you won't catch me venturing there or offering such advice.... And while I do see a lot of the 50-amp twists on peoples' power distros, I have never seen one mounted permanently in a building.
