So if someone wired up an RV outlet the same as a welder outlet, and plugged a 50 amp RV plug into it, what would happen? Nothing?
I know I've read about people plugging into an outlet at someone's house and frying their electrics due to running 240 Volts to their 120 appliances. Would that just be a result of the outlet being wired incorrectly, and have nothing to do with the wirer copying a welder outlet?
Am I laboring under a misapprehension here? I know that I lost one leg of my 50 amp service and then had some appliances, lights, and outlets not work.
