So did you get enough interest to make it worth your time ?

hellraiser79 said:Im interested as well. As a matter of fact, id like a molded adapter for each one of the 240v plugs. Ive already made a 14/50 14/30 to L6-20 but id still buy a molded one as it looks better. Id also like a Nema 10-30 and 10-50(posssibly same one if you lose half the ground pin?) an L6-30 and a L6-50 and a 6-30 and 6-50 for good measure. let me know
This is an extremely dangerous adapter, and I do not recommend anyone make or have such a thing in their possession!QueenBee said:- L6-20P to L5-20R - so that I can use my L6-20 extension cord on 120
Same here on this device, the safe way would be to put a high impedance connection between the ground/neutral & ground/hot, say 100k ohms. This will pass the ground check on our unit, and not pose an electrocution hazard.QueenBee said:- L5-15P that bonds ground and neutral for use with generators that aren't bonded.

@QueenBee: Thanks for your suggestions! I am considering offering a fully loaded adapter kit, so any input on what to include is always appreciated. Regarding an L6-20P to L5-20R, I'm with Phil on this one - anything that can be misused by passing through higher voltage or current than rated for the connection can be a major safety hazard. Would you make a cord that plugs into a dryer outlet and has a standard 120V plug on the end? Of course not! So I will not be offering any cord that has a 240V plug and a 120V receptacle. However I'm interested to know why you suggest this - please tell me more - maybe we can figure out a safe way to provide equivalent functionality.QueenBee said:Ingineer said:This is an extremely dangerous adapter, and I do not recommend anyone make or have such a thing in their possession!QueenBee said:- L6-20P to L5-20R - so that I can use my L6-20 extension cord on 120
