Re: anyone using a clothes dryer plug to run their air compressor?
Just to be clear the breaker is supposed to protect the wire/cable that it is connected to. As long as the device that is plugged into the receptacle is rated at the breaker value or less it is OK. You can connect your twenty amp compressor to a fifty amp plug, correctly wired, with the right fifty amp plug and you are legal and safe.
