An L5-30P is a two pole three wire grounding 30 amp, 125 volt plug . The neutral wire is connected to the W terminal, the ground wire to the G terminal and the hot wire to the only terminal that is left.
The small blade/slot is neutral (white), the larger blade/slot is hot (black) and the notched blade/slot is ground (green).

What kind of plug do you need for a 220 30 amp service?
You can do a 30 amp twist lock receptacle 220v 3 wire (nema L6-30R) or a strait blade 30 amp 220v 3 wire receptacle (nema 6-30R) or a traditional 30 amp dryer plug. The nema # is a universal # that everyone uses to identify that plug. Ask for it. The most important part is the 30 amp male that your trying to plug in. Match it up with what you putting in the wall. Use #10 gauge wire for 30 amps
Is there an adapter for a NEMA 14-30 plug and a NEMA 10-30 receptacle?
A NEMA 14-30 is a 3 pole 4 wire grounding receptacle rated at 30 amps 125/250 volts. A NEMA 10-30 is a 3 pole, 3 wire non grounding receptacle rated at 30 amps 125/250 volt.As the NEMA 10 device has no ground terminal on it, it is not a standard receptacle device so no adapter is made for it.
How do you rewire a NEMA 5-20 plug with a standard 3 prong plug?
A NEMA 5-20 plug is a standard 3 prong plug. It wires the same as a NEMA 5-15 plug (Ground wire to the "D" contact, Hot to vertical terminal and neutral to the horizontal terminal (with the Ground terminal either at the top or bottom)).A 5-20P plug has the neutral blade rotated 90°. The 5-20R receptacle usually has a T-shaped neutral hole, to accept both 5-15P and 5-20P plugs.
Where is the neutral wire on a nema 6 20r connector?
The NEMA 6-20R is a 2 pole 3 wire grounding receptacle that is rated for 250 volts. It is not meant to have a neutral wire connected to it. The receptacle is designed to have 240 volts connected to it.
Is there a converter or adapter for a nema 10-30 plug and nema 6-15 or 6-30 receptacle?
http://www.stayonline.com/detail.aspx?ID=3103 MARINCO 83A Plug Adapter NEMA 5-15 Plug to L5-30 Connector Block Adapter - $45.00 Assure the device does not require more amperage than the receptacle offers.
Can you make an extension cord that would have a NEMA l5-30p 30a 125v plug on one end and a NEMA l14-30r 30a 125v receptacle on the other end to connect a generator parallel kit to a transfer switch?
Yes. Use 10awg wire, mindfull of length voltage drop.
How do you tell the difference between a nema 6-15 and nema 6-30 plug?
The NEMA 6-30 is larger than the 6-15; the diameter is larger, the prongs are larger. In any case, they should already be labeled with their ampacity.
How do you covert a two prong welder plug to a three prong and ground out let?
Need to know the amperage rating of the plug or the NEMA configuration of the plug and receptacle
On a 3 wire plug is the wider blade hot or neutral?
On a 3 wire plug (NEMA 5 configuration, 125v 2 pole 3 wire grounding) the narrow blade is the "hot" lead, the wide blade is the neutral lead, and the U shaped prong is the equipment grounding conductor (EGC). Most 2+G non-metallic-cables (NMC) are color coded for Black = "hot", White = neutral, and Bare = EGC
