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.
No, it is not recommended to have a circuit breaker with a higher amperage rating than the device it is protecting. In this case, you should use a 30 amp circuit breaker for a 30 amp air conditioner to ensure proper protection from overcurrent.
My electrician says no, has to be some rewiring.
yes
For a 220-volt air conditioner, you would typically need a double-pole circuit breaker with a rating between 15-amp to 30-amp, depending on the specific requirements of your air conditioner unit. It's important to consult the manufacturer's specifications or an electrician to determine the correct amperage for your particular setup.
If it is a 30 amp breaker then it is a 240 volt outlet.

No, you need a 30 amp breaker (whether that's from a generator or not it doesn't matter) with the proper voltage.

No, the amperage pin configurations are different between a 15 amp and a 30 amp plug.
No, it is not recommended to plug a 125 volt 30 amp plug into a 120 volt 30 amp outlet. The voltage difference may cause damage to the equipment and pose a safety hazard. It is important to use the correct voltage outlets for your devices.
No, a 4 ton central air conditioner typically requires a minimum of a 40 amp breaker to operate safely and efficiently. Running it off a 30 amp breaker could cause the breaker to trip frequently due to overload.
For a 220V 30 amp service, you typically need a NEMA 6-30 plug. This plug has three prongs: two hot wires and one ground wire. Make sure to consult a professional electrician to ensure proper installation.
A 30 amp plug should only be used on a circuit that is rated for 30 amps to prevent potential overload and safety hazards. Plugging a 30 amp load into a 40 amp circuit could lead to overheating of the wiring and potential fire hazards. It is important to always match the plug amperage with the circuit rating to ensure safe operation.
