I've got a NEMA 14-30 in my laundry room and I was thinking of powering several rigs off of it using a power distribution unit. I was going to run the PDU using a NEMA L14-30P to L6-30R Plug Adapter.

Question is how much consistent watts/amps would I be able to draw from this plug? Its running of a double 30A breaker.

I figure I'd derate the power by 30% and another 10% for constant load. So with that said I'm thinking i should be able to get around 3,969watts of power from this plug. Now the question is does the fact that its on a double 30A breaker make a difference?
