can someone tell me what could have caused my plug to burn up? I have an rv with a 50 amp to 30 amp adapter plugged into a 30 amp plus outside. I just noticed the one side of the adapter on the 50 amp...
Yep, electricity is a pretty simple subject. Try to push too many amps through a smaller cord and something's gotta give. Electricity always generates heat. That's what trips the breaker inside the box. Two things generally cause burnt plugs...too much demand on too small a cord/plug and loose connections between the plug and receptacle. Unless the cord itself is damaged, replace only the plug ends....Dennis
