high voltage outlet
I want to put one of those super high powered air conditioners in my
dining room.. There is a high-power outlet in the dining room. However, I have never seen an outlet like this before. It looks like a 230/30 amp plug, but twice the size. It is friggin huge.. I am comparing this to the high- voltage plug I have upstairs.. Is this a 230/30 amp plug that I can just swap out with a new plug that will fit? |

Otherwise, w/o a picture or more definitive description I'm at a loss... What is the rating for the unit to which it's attached? -- |

The breaker? The wire size? |

high voltage outlet
and.. in taking my pics, I see that the outlet in question sez HEMA
and 250 V/ 30 AMP, but it is much bigger than the other outlet in my bedroom, although the outlet openings are the same configuration. |
