The whole point behind the locking connectors (like the IEC connectors) is to prevent you from plugging the wrong connectors together. Not only are the different dimensions, but the prongs are keyed differently as well. If you put a L6-20P device into a L6-30R, then it was done by physically replacing the plug on the PDU, not by "making it work". I have had to do this at times but it is not strictly allowed by codes and not at all recommended. -Wayne On Tue, Mar 18, 2014 at 03:46:26PM -0700, Mike Hale wrote:
They're different. You can't force them.

I have a situation where a 208v/20A PDU (L6-20P) is supposedly hooked to a 208v/30A circuit (L6-30R). Before I order the correct PDU's and whip cords...sanity check...are connectors 'similar' enough that this is possible (with force) or am I going to find we've actually got L6-20R's on the provider side?
