Abstract
An electrical adapter including one stationary, 15 amp terminal blade and ground pin and one movable, 15 amp terminal blade and ground pin, each in connection with a 30 amp terminal receptacle and terminal ground receptacle, respectively. The 15 amp terminal blades and ground pins provide a mechanism to convert an electrical signal between the 30 amp source and the 15 amp source, and the adjustable 15 amp terminal blade and ground pin provide functionality to account for the difference in distance between the outlets on a standard 15 amp outlet and a 15 amp ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) outlet.
