A Nema L5-30 receptacle is similarly wired like a standard receptacle except all wires are sized to #10 including the ground and supplied by a 30 amp single pole breaker. It has a neutral (white) to pin W, hot (phase color) and ground (green) to pin G.
The L indicates that it is a lock type receptacle, so the face is circular with 3 openings in a concentric shape. <><><> As always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed. Before you do any work yourself,
on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,
always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized. IF YOU ARE NOT ALREADY SURE YOU CAN DO THIS JOB

http://www.stayonline.com/detail.aspx?ID=3103 MARINCO 83A Plug Adapter NEMA 5-15 Plug to L5-30 Connector Block Adapter - $45.00 Assure the device does not require more amperage than the receptacle offers.
Yes. Use 10awg wire, mindfull of length voltage drop.
An L5-30P is a two pole three wire grounding 30 amp, 125 volt plug . The neutral wire is connected to the W terminal, the ground wire to the G terminal and the hot wire to the only terminal that is left. The small blade/slot is neutral (white), the larger blade/slot is hot (black) and the notched blade/slot is ground (green).
It's the same receptacle, except L6 is 240V rated vs 120V rated for L5 (note: The answer above is incorrect. It is true that the L6-30 is a 240V rated connector, and the L5-30 is 125V rated. However they do not share the same pins, they are similar, but one connector will not mate with the other receptacle.)
A NEMA 14-30P is a plug. A 14-30R is a 3pole 4wire grounding receptacle for 125/250 volts. To wire the receptacle connect a three wire cable's red and black wires to terminals X and Y respectively. Connect the cable's white wire to the W terminal and the ground wire to the G terminal.
To wire a L5-30P to L14-20R adapter cord, connect the L5-30P plug's hot wire (X) to the L14-20R receptacle's X hot terminal, the neutral wire (Y) to the Y terminal, and the ground wire (G) to the G terminal. Make sure to match the wire colors and use appropriate connectors for a secure connection. Additionally, consult a qualified electrician to ensure safety and compliance with local electrical codes.
This is a 30 amp 125 volt device. The black wire goes on the smallest pin, should be a brass coloured screw, the white on the next in size, should be a silver coloured screw and the ground wire on the pin with the inward hook on it, green coloured screw.
The maximum amp rating of a L5-30 plug is 30 amps. It is commonly used for high-power equipment such as generators and large appliances. Make sure to check the specific requirements of your equipment to ensure compatibility.
