It depends.... If your house is wired for 15 amp circuits (check your breaker panel/fuse box) the odds are the breaker/fuse will blow. If your house is wired for 20 amp circuits (mine is, many are) odds are the 30-amp to 15-amp adapter will melt, or the outlet will melt. The reason is, while the circuit is 20 amps, the outlet is only 15.
My circuit is 20 amps, and I installed a 30 amp outlet.
...former, well.... electrician, electrical engineer (with degree), etc, yes I probably do know what I'm talking about.
