On of the first things I learned here was that the 30 amp RV plug was NOT the same as the one found in residenital homes.
I've warned several folks about this and usually get the 'deer in the headlight' looked. I tell them that the RV plug works the same as the standard 3-prong plug in their house, but 'over-sized', it has double the 'juice', 30 amps vs 15 amps, both still at 110-120 volts. And the that identical-looking plug in the house is 220-240 volts.
Could someone explain how the 220-240 residential plug is wired?
1 leg 220-240, 1 leg neutral, and 1 ground? or
2 legs at 220-240, 1 leg neutral and no ground? Typical amps?
Yes, I'm showing my ignorance.
Any obvious reasons that the electrical codes have not addressed the RV 30 Amp/Residential 220-240 volt plug 'looks the same so I can use it' issue?
Thanks. Fred
