OK what do I need to do here, got a Fahrenheat 240v Garage heater coming in and the cord already arrived and seems a little like overkill. I have a 30a dual pole breaker, but for some reason my dad put in a 50a three prong plug, now the heater only requires a 30a breaker and 10-2 wire. The only pig tale I could find for this outlet (50a plug) was a 40a dryer plug, OMG this thing is huge...too use an analogy, I feel I am using a diesel truck to haul a 14 ft bass boat...way too much for the job. So.. do I use what I got and ignore the super thick pigtail and plug, or do I replace the plug outlet with a 30a as it should be and use a normal 30a pigtail and corresponding plug, I am confused, but really this pigtail and plug seems like way way too much to be using for such a small heater and 30a breaker. Some one help me out here, make up my mind for me...lol
