Hello!
My wife is a potter and she uses a 50 amp electrical receptacle for her kiln. I would like to build my own electric kettle and use that outlet for my kettle and element.
My question is this. If I am using the standard 5500w 240 element and cord rated for 30amps and attach the correct male connection to plug into the receptacle, will I risk any thing? In other words, if I just want to "plug and play," so to speak, is there anything else I need to consider?
Thanks for the help and if this has been addressed please redirect me to the source!
Cheers
