Note that the Chinese have ones without fuses, if you prefer fires lol. Keep in mind also, GFCI protection, which 14-50 sockets will not have, and you need in almost any such location. | |
| Mar 3, 2022 at 5:30 | comment | added | Ed Beal | In construction we call what you want spider boxes, I have used both 30 and 50 amp the only down side is the required GFCI as they are “portable power taps” some tools don’t do as well with GFCI’s but they are a easy way to have temp power and bring multiple receptacles 120 & 240 closer to the work. Guess I should have read both of the comments, spider boxes can be built. | |
