Does 50A Male to 30A Female Power Adapter Have Acces to 50A Power

Question:

Just want to verify something. I bought from you a 50amp male to 30 amp female adapter. My trailer is a 30amp max unit. This adaptor only pulls from one side of the 50 amp line thus sending only 30 amps max to my trailer correct?

The Mighty Cord RV Power Cord Adapter # A10-5030FHVP won't be providing two 120V legs rated for 50A - it will be limited to one side.

With that being said, I highly recommend having a surge protector rated for 30A installed as well just to make sure you don't blow any fuses or damage anything. This adapter doesn't work as a limiter as well so you'll technically still have access to 50A worth of power. If you don't already have one I recommend checking out the Power Watchdog Surge Protector # HU97FR because of how reliable we've found this protector to be.
