Replied to your PM paul.

But for the sake of it, the L1430 receptacle is 30amp 120/240 volt. Meaning it has 240v across the 2 colored wires, or x and y on the back of the cap, and has a neutral and ground on the w and g ternimals. You will have 120v from either of the 2 colored wires to the white/neutral wire.

You don't need the neutral for your application, you should change the plug on the wall to the proper configuration, which I think is L6-30, which should be 30amp 240 volt. You could just leave it alone, buy the matching L14-30P male cord cap and just not use the white terminal, its not dangerous, just not 'correct'.

I haven't fallen off anything, just been really busy
