When I close my eyes, why does the image of the cord plugged into this adapter appear to be smoking and ready to set everything around it on fire? Take a 30 amp circuit and plug a 15 cord (or less) into it so you can run your air conditioner or other high powered device, and you've got a receipt for a serious hazard.
I just want to stress the dangers in this and what could happen so anyone using this setup is aware of what could go wrong if it's abused.

According to the description it is fused:

"[Safety listed] UL listed for your safety with built in overload protection provided by a non-replaceable 15 amp fuse"

If you blow the fuse I guess you just throw it away?
