Forum Discussion
Many older camps, including a small original section of ours has 30 /20 A peds. They are 'spider ' wired back to a primary breaker at the main panel. They are on one 'leg', and neutral so no cheater will give more than the nominal 120v 30 A the main breaker at the remote panel allows. It was legal then, is still grandfathered, no issues.
Balanced 'loop' wiring provides all 240v up to 600 A in every pedestal depending on cable size so they can support cheater 30-20 plugs only if the 20 is not a gfci.
The only true way you can get more out of a 30/20 ped. is if you know its loop wired,with # 6 or larger to each breaker, so you can you plug in separate cords to each outlet to supply separate loads.
Ask the camp about it.
