The difference is the amp rating. Look here to see the difference

Ah! Should have read ahead. Yes, 30 amp. If it's a 20amp circuit, with a
30amp adapter of some sort, I think the hazard would mostly be the machine
may not run as well but there might be other hazards I am not aware of. If
it's a 50 and you out a 30 device, I think thats supposed to be dangerous.

I'm sure one of the more electrically inclined will know! Afterall, I'm
known for that not being my 'high spot' in repairs ;-)
