There is another set that looks a little similar but serves very different purposes. This set is the NEMA 6-50 and NEMA TT-30.

Why Grounding Your Dryer is Important
Posted by Stephanie Junek on
Did you know some dryer plugs are 3-prong and others are 4-prong? Have you wondered why this is or have you had trouble connecting your dryer to your home electrical dryer outlet because they don’t match?

Electrical problems are more common than you think. Whether you own a 30 Amp RV or a 50 Amp RV, you should have a basic understanding of your RV electrical system.
