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.
