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/B00SSQIYLU
and 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/Conntek-Electric-Vehicle-Pigtail-Adapter/dp/B074SFKZN9
And the PDU will look like this: https://www.amazon.ca/Tripp-Lite-PDUMV30HV-Metered-Vertical/dp/B0012VN0I0
Also, 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.

@ op  buy the amazon adapter

you will be able to do 4x s-9s well 3 for sure

this one below is cheap good price

what I have found is these pdus  do 3 easy and 4 sometimes

depends on your voltage

I get 239-242 solid volts  which gives me  5736 to  5808 watts

you  may get less volts as low as 218  which is 5232 watts  that will not run 4 units of s-9
