What is the Process of Wiring If the device draws 15 amps (I thought Euro plugs were 16 amps or 6 amps, but no matter), you should not attempt to run it on a 10 amp supply. If the device needs less than 10 amps you could change the plug. Do please check that the smaller plug is 10 amps, not 6 amps. If you are trying to run a European device in the USA, the VOLTAGE is different (230 in Europe, 110 in USA) so the device won't run well. Don't even think of using an American device in Europe - there will be a big, expensive bang! (I know, I have seen the result).

Is there a adapter for a nema 14-30 plug and a nema 14-50 receptacle?

No there are no adapters made for these types of installations. The reason there are no adapters is to provide a factor of safety. To plug a 30 amp plug into a 50 amp receptacle could allow 50 amps to be applied to a 30 amp rated cord. The 50 amp receptacle is more than likely being fed by a 40 amp breaker. Just change the plug cord to match the ampacity of the breaker ahead of the 50 amp receptacle. Or change the 50 amp receptacle and 40 amp breaker to a 30 amp breaker and use your existing cord plug.


I have a tanning canopy that has a 20 amp male plug with the one blade at a 90 degree angle can I cut the plug and put on a standard three prong plug?

Can you change the plug? Yes. Should you change the plug? NO!!! The 20 Amp plug is just that a 20 amp plug. The plug you want to change to is a 15 amp plug. The ramifications are pretty easy to understand. The 20 amp load will overload the receptacle for sure, and likely will overload the branch wiring and circuit breaker if they were designed for 15 amps. This could cause at the least your home wiring to get brittle and eventually short out. It could also cause a circuit failure, leading up all the way up to a fire. My recommendation is to move the canopy to a 20 Amp plug or have a licensed electrician install the proper breaker, wiring and receptacle. See view discussion below.


What amp plug should a vacuum have?

Generally, a 15 amp plug.


Can I plug a 30 amp air conditioner in a 50 amp plug?

Yes. Assuming everything is wired correctly and your 30 amp AC cord is compatible with your 50 amp plug, you can do this. I think you will find, however, that your 50 amp plug has a different pin configuration than your 30 amp cord end. This is not easily resolved because there are serious dangers in going the other direction, plugging a 50 amp appliance into a 30 amp receptacle.


Can you plug a 15a 250v ac into a 30a 250v plug?
