Voltec Power Cord Adapter, 30 Amp Plug And 50 Amp Receptacle, 18"

The Voltec 16-00570 power cord adapter uses an 18 inch dogbone cord to adapt a 30 amp RV outlet to a 50 amp style receptacle. A TT-30 male plug on one end and a 50 amp 14-50 style female connector on the other give 50 amp RV cords a way to connect to 30 amp service for limited operation.

The short length of flexible cable helps relieve stress at the pedestal and gives the heavier 50 amp cord some room to bend without twisting the outlet.

Use cases

FAQ

Q: Does this adapter give me full 50 amp power?
A: No. The adapter only allows a 50 amp cord to connect to a 30 amp source. Manage loads as if you are on 30 amp service.

Q: Why use a dogbone instead of a solid block adapter?
A: The flexible section reduces strain on the pedestal outlet and helps the heavy 50 amp cord hang more naturally.
