NEMA 14-30R (not 14-30P) to TT-30R?
My garage currently has a 14-30R (not 14-30P) 125/250V receptacle. Is it possible to rewire this to a TT-30R 125V receptacle? I can't seem to find an adapter anywhere.

I believe the NEC requires this now not just CA.House we are in now was built in 1994, has a 200A panel, and there are so many individual circuits for appliances there are only 2 free spaces left....
Part of current limitations on wire size is to manage wire temps...the US NEC limits 14 ga to 15A to keep the wire cool enough that it won't ignite a wood-framed house. Maybe down south they build with all stone or other non-combustible materials so the heat generated by a 14 ga wire carrying 30A is safe.
