When 30amp cord ends burn up you can protect the boat end of the cord by retrofitting a 50amp unit, That way if a malfunction happens the damage will happen first at the weaker dockside connection which should remain at 30amps. Having taken both 30 and 50amp ends apart you can see the difference in fire saftey prevention.
