In article . com,

Any reason this device couldn't be wired to a 30A electric clothes
dryer pigtail and plugged into a 240V dryer receptacle, to provide
120V, 60A total to downstream devices? The receptacle would have to be
all 4 proper conductors of course: 2 hots, neutral, and ground.

The individual 12 ga conductors on the device are protected by the
onboard 20A breakers. If the breakers are not qualified for branch
circuit protection, what are they qualified for, and would that be
sufficient for a non-permanent (i.e. plugged-in) device?


In principle ever conductor downstream of the 30 amp breaker,
right up to the 20s on the panel, would have to be number ten
wire.
