Good possibility? It is a definite FACT. With the 30 amp rating of the
conditioner,a 20 amp plug would be a requirement. Particularly on a 20

Don't assume a 30A rating requires a 30A plug. That rating is the
maximum input current, and you can absolutely change the plug to a lower
rating if the load on the conditioner is less than full load. The
circuit protection is at the panel feeding the receptacle, so if that
receptacle is on a 15A or 20A circuit it is fine. If the load is too
high the breaker will trip.


Look at the pictures. Wouldn't you agree the breaker didn't trip?
