Alternatively, you can replace the 30A circuit with a 20A one. I'm not an electrician, but I'll bet it's not much more complex or expensive than replacing a breaker and a receptacle,
It is exactly that: no one says you *can't* wire a 20A branch circuit with #10. It is even *possible*, though unlikely, that if you did so, you wouldn't have to derate it to 80%. I would have to reread the Code to be sure. Cheers, -- jra -- Jay R.
