One looks like a nice heavy cable with 4 pin trailer style m and fm ends molded on. The other looks like a 3 phase cable (3 with a ground ?) 20 amp twist to lock with nice molded on ends. VERY well made. The tag is just electrical warnings and has no other info regarding make or part numbers. Maybe for a welder control ? robot ? (auto castrator ? ) Anyone out there recognize it ? Thanks for looking. Cheers !

It appears to be a 30 amp 220 plug. Last edited by seniortrap; 04/02/24 11:12 AM. Vietnam--1967 46th. Const./Combat Engineers "Chaotic action is preferable to orderly inaction."

It appears to be a 30 amp 220 plug. Agreed. And the 4 prong flat plug may have been to charge on board batteries in camper. www.rtssetter.com

That is the same connector I use in the shop for all of my 3ph 20A machinery. I guess this cord uses 1 ground, 1 neutral and 2 individual 110 (220) 1ph. I suppose there would be a pigtail of sorts that brings one end out to standard 110v outlets. Still looking for an exact example with the flat4 cord. Close enough for now tho. THANKS !
