Looking for Recommendations on 30amp 240v adapter

[Snakebitten]

I guess I am at full circle now. That is exactly the same set up I use that I posted above. Only the color of the 50a to 30a splitter is different. The first adapter is the only one I’ve found that converts the generator outlet into some other format while preserving access to both phases.

Mine aren't blue, but rather yellow. But when I checked on Ebay, my yellow wasn't available, but the blue was. I would hope they are wired the same?

Ha! The same thing happened to me on Amazon. The one I bought was green. But it isn’t available anymore. The new one is yellow. It probably doesn’t matter but it’s always worth double checking. In my early quest, I ran across two splitters from the same manufacturer. One tapped both phases, the other tapped only one. It was a pain to finally find a combination that worked.

You may be correct. I'm not concerned though, since I'm using it for 110V appliances. It has not gotten hot or melted. Nor has the digital breaker popped when running tools with high start loads. My table saw is rated at 15A but draws a ton at startup which always trips the ProPower 20A breaker. I don't need to run 220V and 110V at the same time so I use my adapter to circumvent the need to get a 'soft start' which is $$$.

My 15a saw works as it should on the 20a plug. Do you know if your inverter has been updated or is it still factory?

I honestly don't know what upgrades there are. I've not had any inverter issues nor heard of any 'upgrades'. Then again, I haven't been looking.
As for the breaker tripping, I think my table saw pushes a momentary 25-30A draw upon startup. The 20A ProPower breaker has no headspace for that kind of momentary current draw, thus why people are buying soft start boxes.

Are you saying there are mods to improve the system or Ford improvements? Mine is a 2021 Job 1 build, so pretty much an original concept. But it's been working as advertised so far.

There's a software patch. Have you checked what FDRS software updates you have available?

I haven't done any FDRS updating. Only OTA. I think I'm fully caught up now but for some reason it took almost 2 years to start getting any. I was updated to 4.3.5 last month. Was that patch sent to everyone OTA or only those who use FDRS?

There has been a software update for the DCACA available on FDRS for a long time—since at least January 2022. But to my knowledge it’s never been distributed OTA.

I have not seen a single adapter that does what you want. But two adapters will get you there. This generator to 50a rv adapter will tap both phases of the pro power: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B076ZTZMHM/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Then this 50a rv to two 30a rv female splitter completes the trip: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B075VKM9N...=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9kZXRhaWxfdGhlbWF0aWM&th=1

Hi, will I be able to use a single AC with this set up? Thanks!

You'll have the full 30A RV power source that a normal 30A RV shore power outlet provides.

OK, thanks so much!

Yes. That is what I use most of the time to power a single trailer with one AC and a 30A load center. It gets you a single phase of 3600W/120V/30A. You might want to consider a soft starter on the AC, however, because the breaker on the PB is very sensitive and trips easily at exactly 30A. There’s no slop like with a mechanical breaker to absorb transient overloads when starting the AC.

Thank you! So that end for the generator plugs in directly to the PB 30Amp outlet then.

Today I remembered to test the pinout of my Parkworld 60646 with a multimeter and it seems correct to me:

Parkworld 60646 on Amazon

I’d be curious to see the results of your testing. I bought this exact adapter two years ago and it tapped only one of the two phases, essentially splitting 3600 watts. So, I sent it back.

Your link shows that the adapter is rated for only 3750 watts. I suspect the problem might still be there.

From the Amazon listing:

• AC power Splitter cord L14-30P to RV (2)TT-30R 125V/3750W Y Adapter cord, 3 Feet

So as I read this, the splitter gives you two TT-30R connections of 125V & 3750W each.

Mine was purchased Sept. 2022.
