The trailer breaker can not protect the cord because the cord comes before the breaker.
The trailer main breaker will still limit the flow through the cord to 30 amps.

My "reading" of what he says, is that the 50 amp pedestal breaker is tripping. I repeat "this is a SERIOUS overload" of a 30 amp cord.
Yes,it's a serious overload if that's occuring. That also means that the 30A main breaker in the trailer is not working.
OK, here's the quote:

What's kind of funny is that when I use my 50 to 30 amp adapter, we usually trip the pedestal breaker less than when we are plugged into the 30 amp on the same pedestal. I'll keep you updated.
This seems strange to me. I don't think the 50A breaker should ever trip before the trailer main. Does the trailer have a main 30A breaker that turns off all power?
