Voltec Power Cord Adapter, 5-15P Plug And 30A Receptacle

The Voltec 16-00500 power cord adapter lets you hook up a 30 amp RV style plug to a standard 15 amp household style outlet. A 5-15P straight blade plug on one side and a 30 amp TT-30R receptacle on the other give you a compact way to connect a 30 amp RV cord to a lower amp source for light duty use.

This adapter is commonly used in storage or at home when you want to keep batteries charged and run small loads on a 30 amp RV without a full 30 amp pedestal. It should always be used within the limits of the 15 amp outlet and circuit.

FAQ

Q: Can I run my RV air conditioner through this adapter?
A: No. Most air conditioners draw more current than a typical 15 amp household circuit can safely supply. Use this adapter only for light loads.

Q: Does this convert my RV to 15 amp permanently?
A: No. It is a temporary adapter for connecting to a lower amp source. Your RV is still wired for 30 amp service.
