Voltec Power Cord Adapter, 30 Amp Plug And 5-15R Receptacle

The Voltec 16-00501 power cord adapter lets you use a 15 amp household style plug with a 30 amp RV outlet. A 30 amp TT-30 male plug on one side and a 15 amp 5-15R female receptacle on the other give you a compact way to run a small tool or extension cord from a 30 amp pedestal or generator outlet.

This style of adapter is often called a reverse adapter because it takes the higher amperage outlet and steps it down to a standard 15 amp receptacle. It is intended for light duty loads within the rating of the 15 amp end and the connected circuit.
