Yes, you plug a 20 amp device into a 30 amp circuit.
The circuit always needs to be equal or greater than the device. If you plug to large of an appliance into a circuit, the circuit breaker (or fuse) should open the circuit so that no damage occurs.
It is not recommended to plug a 20 amp heater into a 30 amp plug, as this can pose a safety hazard. The heater should be plugged into a compatible outlet that matches the amperage rating of the appliance to avoid overloading the circuit.
Yes. If it has a motor, there may be an additional surge when the motor starts up, as long as the result doesn't exceed 20 amps, your circuit breaker should not complain.
This leaves you with enough 'headroom' to supply another 5 amps before blowing your circuit breaker.
Electricity is an expensive way to heat a space, unless you're getting very good rates so be prepared for an alarming bill at the end of the month if you use the space heater very often.
Yes and only if the device connected to the 30 amp plug draws no more than 30 amps.

No, the configuration of a 30 amp plug will not fit into a 40 amp outlet. This for a safety reason that they make different configurations of plugs rated at specific amperages. A 40 amp outlet is protected by a 40 amp breaker so the wire will be be able to carry 40 amps before the breaker will trip. The maximum amount of current allowed on a 30 amp plug is 30 amps and if it allowed to be plugged into a 40 amp plug it is 10 amps or 33% beyond the plugs safety rating.
Sure, that way is not a problem. The other way around OTOH would be trouble.

What size wire and breaker do you need for a 5000 watt garage heater?
Look on the heater and see what amps it is pulling. That will determine the wire size and breaker size. It must be on a dedicated circuit. 15 amps = AWG # 14 wire with 15 amp breaker 20 amps = AWG # 12 wire with 20 amp breaker 30 amps = AWG # 10 wire with 30 amp breaker 40 amps = AWG # 8 wire with 40 amp breaker
What amp fuse is required for the heater fan in a 1978 Chevrolet Impala?
A 30 amp fuse is required.

It requires a 30 amp fuse.jd
Can you use a 20 amp breaker if the amp rating on a heater is 21 amp?
No, it is not safe to use a 20 amp breaker for a heater with a 21 amp rating. The breaker should be rated at least equal to or higher than the amp rating of the appliance to prevent overheating and potential fire hazards. It is recommended to use a 25 amp breaker for a 21 amp heater.
Can you plug in a 125 volt 30 amp plug in a 120 volt 30 amp outlet?
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.
