Hey all, I'm wanting to make a adapter drop cord to power a 240v/4800watt/20amp (NEMA 6-30P)-garage heater from my clothes dryer outlet (NEMA 10-30). I believe the dryer is 30amp at least, correct ? I'll be using 10 gauge wire.
Any suggestions or comments before I attempt this ?

I am trying to do something similar- I want to hook up a 240v 20A flux welder to an old NEMA 10-30R dryer receptacle but I'm not experienced in the three pole to 2 pole conversion. Can you tell me how you wired your adapter drop cord? ( it is exactly what I am looking for ).
