You might get the answer to that at your local hardware store or research it on the Web.

Am I understanding that you are connecting the appliance to a voltage source using the adapter? If so then you must ensure that the appliance is being connected to the correct source voltage (i.e. 120 Volts), even if this is through the adapter. Be sure the adapter isn't altering this voltage i.e., use a transformer somewhere in it to change the output voltage. You must then ensure that the current of the appliance doesn't exceed 30 amps. Depending on the appliance, there will be a placard on it saying how many amps it uses at the operating voltage. Make sure that this number isn't greater than 30 and you are good to go.
Also, you can get a digital multi-meter at many stores, such as Wal Mart, Lowes, Home Depot, etc. in the electrical department. Plug the adapter into the voltage source (i.e. wall plug), turn the multi-meter on to the correct mode, and stick the ends into or on the two conductors of the female adapter. It will tell you what the voltage is. If the female adapter is at the appliances correct operating voltage, and the appliance doesn't use greater than 30 amps, then you are good to go. Also, when you measure the voltage using a multi-meter, it may be plus or minus a couple volts. That is okay unless it is a low voltage appliance at which time the tolerances need to be closer.

By this you mean you have a 30 amp female outlet and you want to plug an appliance to it? Is the 30 amps outlet 220 volts and is the appliance rated for 120 volts, if this is the case, NO.
