Power question... Can I do this?
Hello! I have a 28RLS with 50 amp service. I park the TT near a shop that has a 30amp connection used with a welder. I do not have enough length of 50 amp power cord or extension to make it there.
I am wondering if I can use the 50 feet or so of 30 amp cord (since 30 amps is all I will be able to pull anyways) and then connect a 50 to 30 adapter followed by my 50 amp progressive industries EMS followed by the 50 amp cord into the TT to have some power.
Basically, going from the shop to the TT it would be:
-30 amp connection in wall
-30 amp cord (is less than 50 feet)
-50 to 30 adapter (progressive industries)
-50 amp EMS (EMS-PT50X)
-50 amp cord and possibly one 25' extension
-50 amp connection on TT
I know I can't pull 50 amps from a 30 and after the length of extension I suppose I won't even pull 30 but I am wondering if this is safe and if it will work as well as how the adapters will work in the middle of the lengths of extension cord. The alternative, I suppose, is buying a longer 50 amp extension cord but given the prices of those, I wanted to check.
