It is up to the consumer to make sure you keep your current draw below the 15 amps as attempting to draw more than that will cause the adapter to overheat and melt and hopefully pop the 30 amp breaker before the fire spreads too far  |
If a 30 amp trailer is plugged into a 15 amp adapter which can only fir in a standard 15 amp outlet then where are you getting the 30 amps? The 15 amp breaker for the outlet will be the limiting factor. Now if it's plugged into a 50 amp adapter then the caper's 30 amp breaker will be the limiting factor.
