Really? I didn't realize such setup was legit.

As previously mentioned I know that they do have PDUs specifically designed for getting 120v single phase from 5 prong, grounded 30A 208Y/120v outlets used on event power posts and event power trailers, but I've not heard of "up to regulations" cord for deriving 208 or 240v from two 120v outlets.

I just said they were available. I never said they were legal.

It's been a couple years since I saw them online. I don't even have a clue what term or phrase to Google in order to find them.

A) Dryer adapter for those houses with electric dryer.

B) 20amp/240V adapter for those with a wall/window mounted 240v AC

c) Generator for all others unless you take a crash course in panels/breakers. It's not rocket science but.....
