GE 30 A Surface Outlet

The GE U013 is an unmetered surface-mounted power outlet rated for 30 A at 120 V AC. It uses a NEMA 3R steel enclosure and a TT-30R receptacle configuration for weather-resistant outdoor or service applications. The cabinet provides 7 in inside height and 5 in inside width for wiring space. This unit suits installers needing a durable, non-metered connection point.

Sustained Load Behaviour

The outlet carries its full 30 A rating continuously without an internal circuit breaker, so overload protection must be supplied upstream. Steel housing and the NEMA 3R rating help the enclosure shed heat and resist rain or splashing during extended operation. The TT-30R receptacle maintains a secure blade connection under vibration or thermal cycling. No metering or monitoring circuitry is present to interrupt service.

Pre-Installation Checks

Verify that the supply circuit is protected by a dedicated 30 A breaker and wired with conductors rated for the load and distance. Confirm the mounting surface can support the steel cabinet and that the 5 x 7 in interior accommodates your conduit entries. Ensure local code permits an unmetered, non-GFCI receptacle at the intended location. The device ships without a cord or plug, so termination materials are separate.

Questions about this item

How much heat or noise does the 30 A outlet produce when it runs continuously?

The unmetered steel outlet has no circuit breaker or moving parts, so it generates no fan noise and negligible heat under a 30 A load at 120 V.

What wiring and mounting hardware must I already have to install this NEMA 3R surface outlet?

You need a 30 A circuit fed by conductors rated for 120 V, a compatible TT-30R plug on the load side, and fasteners suited to the mounting surface for the steel cabinet.

Will the TT-30R receptacle accept the older 30 A plugs I already use on my RV or generator?

Yes, the NEMA TT-30R configuration matches standard 30 A 120 V plugs found on many RVs and portable generators, so existing cords plug in directly.
