Probably would work OK but that 30A receptacle is connected to one side (or leg) of the 50A. So it's possible both rigs would be running off the same side of 50.
The 20A recept is connected to the other side of the 50A.
True. There are two methods of dealing with this.
1. Use wire heavy enough for 80 amps, and put in an 80amp 240v breaker. That way, you can use the 50amp, 30amp, AND 20amp outlets all at full capacity at the same time.
2. The other way, like I said I did in my earlier post, is to install a 50amp 240v breaker and just know that you are limited to a max of 50 amps on each leg.
