Pit Power? 50 amp conversion

[nt650hawk]

I know its electrical power... You dolt.

Is the 3 prong set up 110 or 240? Do I need a converter?

I am trying to figure out a way to break out the 50 amps to provide additional 110v 20 amp outlets for additional power in T1a. There is one power station and more bikes than power.

What does (you rich people that have big trailers) the plug look like? Picture of the 3 prong plug please? I might be able to figure this out from an image. OR do U know what kind of power you plug into?

Any information may be shared for replications buy others once I get all the details and get this thing figured out.

Low-down-racing has something. Just don't know what it is.

I think the 3 prong is 30 amp. There is also a 4 prong which is a 50 amp

I don't use anything coming off either plug to my regular 15 amp extension cord.

the guys that pit across from me have a converter/splitter setup into separate breakers running off of that one larger outlet. Whatever it is i'm pretty sure its the standard (220 maybe?) outlet for a camper.

thats all i know.

That's the 50 amper.

Wiring Diagram:

Wiring between W and X using G for ground will give you one standard 120V 25 amp circuit. Wiring between Y and X using G for ground will give you a second one.

The plug you refer to Gino is a 30 amp plug.

[Honclfibr]

I know they're using the 50 amper, but can't remember maybe both are on there?

[Doc]

There are both.

This is what I got from Jim Folan (The Man)

1 - two cicuit main lug power panel (Sq D, my preference)

2 - twenty amp single pole breakers

4 - GFI receptacles (20 amp)

4 - bell boxes

4 - weather proof GFI covers

40 ft - 6/4 rubber cord $$$$ (managed to get a piece of scrap from work)

1 - 50 amp range plug

1 - isolated ground bar for panel

short piece of 12/2 romex

8 - romex connectors (weather tight connectors would be better)

piece of 3/4 PT plywood for mounting

1 - 1" kellems grip for the 6/4 cord ( any cord connector will work)

Damn....I'll chip in on that, especially if it helps with power problems. How much you want??

You coulda "Chipped in" and bought a plug last year.

Cheap Bastid!


That is SWEET GINO!!! I just got to see the pic.

So is Nate gonna charge per person or per NHMS plug?

[nt650hawk]

Not built yet. Not enough time right now.
I will like to split the cost with the group of us when it gets built. I may actually have my electrician friend make one up for us. He is good like that.

Expect a per cord $10 fee. You all know Nate.
