That's a NEMA TT-30 plug. It's designed for 125V @ 30A. You can use an adapter like what was posted above me, but that basically limits your 30A line down to a single cable that's only rated for 15A. You can buy a splitter thats a bit more expensive, but basically gives you 2x 15A lines. Each of those lines can then power any GPU rig you want to throw at it.
Winner winner!

Exactly right. If it were me, I'd use a good high end power strip and put one of these on the end in place of the factory supplied unit. http://www.amazon.com/Camco-55132-AMP-Replacement-Plug/dp/B000EDQR6E/ref=pd_sim_hi_1
lol beaten by my long winded answers again.

Hi buddy,
that thing is for a caravan or motor home (Recreational vehicle).
Basically it allows you to run your RV (or some relatives RV) off your home powersupply.
similar to things you have in a campsite etc.
So:
Option a: without calling a sparky in, you could get the electrics from an RV from a junkyard, and drag that home - then plug it in and run all off your stuff off that power source.
This is a bad choice
Alternatively, you COULD run it off an australian/new zealand 3112 plug.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AS_3112
Thats what we have over here.
One variant will handle 32amps. Pop that through an australian UPS that handles 15-32 amps and then run that into a 240v power supply (unless it spits it out at 120v)
I'd do this as I have hi amp gear here but I'm in Australia and the UPS alread handles that amperage. Otherwise its a dumb idea
Optionally, get a transformer from somewhere in your country that drops the RV outlet into whtaever is standard for your country.
This is the safest option of these three - as if you can find a transformer that is designed to do the conversion, then thats the only safe way of doing it (without buying an RV).
However, if you don't plan on investing in a caravan - just get a sparky in and convert that 30amp plug into another phase or line that you can run not only your PCs off, but airconditioners and washing machines and high powered machining gear off, since that plug is probably in your garage.
(atleast over here, our standard output is 10 amps, with airconditioner ones at 15 amps).
So basically - buy a transformer, or get a sparky in to fix it.
30 amps is a fair whack at 120v AC. So do something with that plug - if you have kids and no RV, just get rid of the damned thing and get it replaced by a sparky.

It's already the proper voltage (120v), you just need this!

Hey all,
I have this plug in a new location I am moving into:
https://skydrive.live.com/redir?resid=C693871342755AD0!1863&authkey=!ADnacfLwhbclmpk
It is attached to a 30 amp breaker......and I would like to use it to power some serious mining power.
What do I need to properly utilize this type of outlet?
First person to give me solid advice, or point me to the proper adapter and supporting hardware gets a .10 BTC bounty!
