My brew cart has a NEMA 14-30 (L-shaped neutral blade) plug. I will eventually have a corresponding outlet in my basement brewing area, but in the meantime, I would like to plug it into my range outlet in the kitchen.
The problem with this, is that the range outlet is a NEMA 14-50 (straight neutral blade).
My idea is to buy a 4-wire range cord, a NEMA 14-30 outlet, an outlet box, and cover. I would wire the range cord to the NEMA 14-30 outlet in the outlet box, pop the cover on, plug my brew cart into it, and plug the other end of the adapter into my range outlet.
I know the amp rating is different (30 vs. 50). I'll be plugging a 30A appliance into a 50A receptacle. However, the brew cart power cord has it's own inline 30A GFCI.
Any problems with any of that?
