3000RMXL plug adapter?

[Anonymous user]

Hey everyone!

I just acquired a 3000RMXL for the office, however it is using a L5-30P plug, which we currently do not have a receptacle for. Would it be acceptable to just purchase a 30A to 15A converter (straight blade receptacle)? Suggestions? Else, call the electrician. =P

Thanks!

it should answer your questions. as the article notes, you can but it will de-rate the UPS. you will need to make sure you dont overload it and trip the breaker.
