If, however, you connect one load to X and the neutral, and another load to Y and the neutral, each of those loads is getting 120V at up to 50 amps. If you put a load on X and Y, you're going to get 240V at up to 50 Amps before you exceed its rating. It's rated for 50 Amps on any given conductor. Each of those conductors is rated for 50 Amps. Hot 1 or Leg 1 or "X", Hot 2 or Leg 2 or "Y", a neutral, and a ground. think of it as 4 different copper conductors. I'm not sure what engineering factor is planned for copper wiring so I'm not sure exactly how many more amps you'd get out of a given receptacle above what it's rated for, but it's obviously not recommended to exceed what it's rated for. It will handle the amps up until the point it melts / catches fire, which is somewhere above the amps it's rated for. The source and the load determine the amps going through the receptacle. View QuoteThere's nothing in the receptacle to limit amps.
Wow ok thank you I’m still confused I always thought max amps you get is what the receptacle is rated for! Your genny puts out 60 amps and you use 50amp receptacle that’s it 50 is what it’s rated so I lose 10amps. It seems like that would be exceeding the rating for the receptacle, but it's not, because in layman's terms, the receptacle is handling it like a 240V / 30 Amp connection. Well, he's "getting" all 60 Amps when he turns on enough equipment on both legs to pull 30 Amps per leg. Yes.so out of the female 50 amp receptacle is he getting all 60 amps? Or does it still only max out to 50 amps since 50 amp receptacleYes, he's getting all 60 Amps. He's essentially creating two separate 120V / 30A circuits. 's getting 30 Amps of 120V power from one of the legs and 30 Amps of 120V from the other leg, so he's getting 60 Amps.

So is he now getting the full 60amp potential? Or is it still just 50amps He uses adapters one in each 30 amp receptacles then uses a dual 30 amp cord to 50amp receptacle. Ok watch this video.fast forward it to the 1min 40 second mark.
