New 30amp Dryer Buddy® Plus AUTO with Twist-Lock outlets

Posted by Brad Apelgren on

I have created a 30amp Twist-Lock Dryer Buddy® Plus AUTO Customize Your Own Page here you pick your own power input cable and two outlets amongst many choices, this is offered as an easier alternative to looking through our catalog for a pre-configured unit to fit your needs. Be aware Twist-Lock connectors all look VERY similar but are not interchangeable, the only way to reliable identified your plug/outlet is to look for the NEMA numbers typically printed on the face of the connector. It will start the the letter L followed by numbers; 5=120 volt 3-prong, 6=240 volt 3-prong, 14=120/240 volt 4-prong, then a hyphen followed by the amps 20=20amps, 30=amps.

So a L6-30 is a;

NEMA 6 series (240 volt 3-prong)
30amp connector

The Dryer Buddy® Plus AUTO is a fully automatic 2-way switcher based on the original Dryer Buddy® Plus It allows you to share your dryer outlet with your EVSE or other Twist-Lock plug equipped devices without having to flip any switches. Basic operation is simple, the Dryer outlet is always live and the EVSE outlet is only live when there is enough amperage available to charge your EV. When the Dryer is off it is drawing little to no amps so the EVSE outlet is switched on allowing your EV to charge. If the Dryer is turned on at any time then the EVSE outlet is switched off, when the Dryer is done, power is restored to the EVSE outlet and if your EV needs charging it will resume charging. Designed so other members of the house don't have to understand anything technical to use the Dryer when they need to do a load of laundry. Great for apartment dwellers, temp housing or an easy hookup at a friend’s/relatives house. This unit is built with a 5’ cable and two outlets.

Be sure to set your Electric Vehicle or EV Charging Station (EVSE) to 24amps or less when using this Dryer Buddy® (max draw for 30amp Dryer Circuit).
