I want to buy a Clipper Creek LCS25p L6-30
My dryer plug is a NEMA 10-30
I found a 10-30 to L6-30 Adapter for sale.
Was planning on using this until I heard from a Clipper Creek rep that:
" It would not be advisable from a safety stand point to utilize the 10-30 receptacle with an adapter for the LCS-25P. The reason being is that the NEMA 10-30 receptacle uses a Neutral wire as opposed to an earth ground, the LCS-25P requires an earth ground connection in order to operate correctly, additionally when charging a vehicle the ground is passed through to the vehicle from the station, if a neutral is used instead of a ground the neutral can actually carry power to the vehicle which could result in a hazard when touching the vehicle during or after charging."
Was wondering how valid this is and what is the likelihood of risk I would face if I do use the adapter?
