Can you show how that works/how to construct it
well I bought two 30 amp female pigtails, I think they are called, and one male 50 amper connected them together in a standard large square aluminum outdoor box. the hard part was bending/twisting/connecting those huge wires with wire nuts, etc. in the box. when I was done I injected some foam insulating stuff to keep things from moving around after I dipped all of my connections in liquid wire insulation.
I didn't take pictures during building it so can't show those.
I'm sure one of our more handy members can put together a diagram.
you can sort of visualize it from RoyB's diagram, but exchange a 30 where he has a 50 amper.
