Certainly don't just buy a "adapter" and use a standard surge protector with it, because the plug fits. Standard surge protectors are rated at 15A, in the USA at least. ... You're talking multiple rigs anyway, right? So you're going to want a PDU. Spend the money on it, before you blow everything up.
And as we've seen in this very thread ... Electricians don't know everything.
I'm planning to buy this adapter :
https://www.amazon.ca/Conntek-P1450650-Generator-250-Volt-Adapter/dp/B00SSQIYLUand a 40 amp PDU to distribute the power and not blow anything up lol
I'll be using around 3500+Watts. I'll talk with an electrician just in case... thanks for your help.
That isn't the proper female plug for a 240V PDU. Most 240V PDUs have a L6-30P.
If you goto Lowes or Home Depot you can buy the parts needed to make an adapter.
So I guess something like this will be suitable for the PDU:

https://www.amazon.ca/Tripp-Lite-PDUMV30HV-Metered-Vertical/dp/B0012VN0I0Also, I've noticed that there is no 40 amp PDU... So If I use and 240V 30Amp PDU, I won't be able to go over 5760Watts (240V * 30Amp * 0.80%), even if my circuit allows me to have a little more, right?
Please correct me if I'm wrong.
I have one of those Tripp Lite PDU's that you linked to sitting in my closet. That was the first pdu that I ever used. Recently swapped them out for switched pdu's, so I could shut off, turn on, cycle power on individual pdu outlets remotely, but that will work and it displays amp draw. Huge plus. I would still have the breaker replaced with a 30A and it would probably be cheaper to have the outlet replaced so you can plug the l6-30p directly in, rather than buying that adapter.
