How many wires does a L6-30R have?

How many wires does a L6-30R have?

It has two hot wires and one ground wire; it is designed to lock onto a NEMA L6-30P male plug by twisting the plug once it is inserted into the receptacle.

What is an L6-30 circuit?

The NEMA L6-30 receptacle is also used as an output receptacle for supplying 208 VAC in the Matrix-UPS, the Smart-UPS T models, and single phase Symmetra systems (Power Array, RM, LX). It is a locking two-pole, three-wire grounding receptacle with a maximum input of 250V and 30A.

Does an L6-30 have a neutral?

NEMA L6 connectors are rated for a maximum of 250 volts. They are intended for two-pole, three wire, line-line-earth (or hot-hot-ground) circuits with a nominal supply voltage of 208 or 240 volts, depending on phase configuration. The L6 connector does not provide a neutral connection.

What is the difference between L6-20 and L6-30?

Considering that the L6-20 is 20Amp and L6-30 is 30Amp then the max that the L6-20 can pull is 20A thru a 30A circuit. Thus the wiring is all rated fine to handle the load and it would be fine.

Can I plug L6 30P into L6 30R?

This NEMA L6-30P to L6-30R cord can be used to connect a PDU or UPS system to an AC wall outlet or connect another high-output device to a PDU or UPS with L6-30R outlets. It is also a recommended replacement or upgrade of a standard power cord provided by the device’s manufacturer.

What are L6 30R used for?

The NEMA L6-30 is used for input on the domestic APC Matrix-UPS, Smart-UPS T models, and Symmetra RM 2-6kva UPS. The NEMA L6-30 receptacle is also used as an output receptacle for supplying 208 VAC in the Matrix-UPS, the Smart-UPS T models, and single phase Symmetra systems (Power Array, RM, LX).

Can I plug L6 20P into L6 30?

L6-20P will not fit in an L6-30R. They are a different size (although very close), thus the need for the adapter (or change the plug). In your scenario, an adapter would allow this, and it will work fine.

What is the difference between L6 30P and L6-30R?

L6-30 extension power cords feature a locking L6-30P plug to a locking L6-30R connector w/ 10/3 AWG SJT jacket. These power cords are rated for 30 amps, 250V and are used to extend a power cable with an L6-30 plug on it.
