50Amp diagram

I tried a search allready and came up "no joy".I saw someone a while back posted a wiring diagram for the 50 amp power plug .I am adding a plug out to my 5er shed and want a diagram.I am pretty sure how to wire it but I want to KNOW for sure.
I realize ita actually 2 110V 25amp max circuits and not 220v 50amp,or am I thinking when I should be sleeping.

    This is how a typical RV camp ground pedestal is wired to provide 50AMP and 30AMP service...

    Wrong. It is two 50a 110v circuits in tandem which is also 50a at 220v.
  • Maybe you should try sleeping? :B

    50 amp 240 volt. Around here it is 110 and 220 volt so two 50amp lines of 110 = 220
