The "dog bone" will give you 25 amps not 30 as it uses one leg of the 50 amp service. Most places that offer 50 amp service also have a 30 amp plug in the service box. But having the dog bone adapter is a good item to have, a few times my surge protecter showed a problem on a 30 amp plug and I used my adapter to run off of the 50 amp plug.
Just for correct info: Actually a 50 - 30 dogbone will supply 50 amps available on the one leg it taps. The 50 amp socket has a 50 amp breaker on each hot leg. Not a big deal because your 30 amp system should have the required internal 30 amp main breaker for your protection. :)
