Yes it can. The 6-30 will be fed with a #10 wire whereas the 6-15 only needs a #14 conductor. You will also have to change the cap (plug) end also as the polarity of the two receptacles is different. This difference in cap polarity is so that a 6-15 can not be inserted into a 6-30 receptacle. The tandem blade configuration on the 6-30 are closer together than the tandem blades on the 6-15 receptacle.

What is a rocker arm in a DC motor and what will happen if the rocker arm connections are changed?

A rocker arm holds a carbon brush. In other words it is a carbon brush holder. Changing over the rocker arm connections is the same as changing over the armature connections and will make a DC motor turn in the reverse direction assuming that the magnetic orientation of the motor's field stays the same.More detailDC motor having a field windingIf the stator's field is created by a field winding and that winding's connections are changed over at the same time as the armature's connections are changed over, then the DC motor's direction of rotation will be the same as before.If the stator's field is created by a field winding and that winding's connections are not changed over at the same time as the the armature's connections are changed over, then the DC motor will turn in the reverse direction.DC Motor having a field created by a permanent magnetIf the stator's magnetic field is created by a permanent magnet and the orientation of that magnet is reversed at the same time that the armature connections are changed over, then the DC motor's direction of rotation will be the same as before.If the stator's magnetic field is created by a permanent magnet and the orientation of that magnet is not reversed at the same time as the armature connections are changed over, then the DC motor will turn in the reverse direction.


What is a resistor whose value can varied over a range of value called?

Variable resistor. The value of the variable resistor can be changed at any given moment.


Can a three way switch be changed to a single pole switch with a plate over one of the switch locations?

Yes, If you only hook up two wire it will work as a single pole


What is the importance of speed control of DC motor in industrial applications?

The speed control of the DC motor is important because its speed can be changed over a wide variety of simple methods which is not possible in an AC motor.
