I have a Mr Cool 30k mini for the new shop that calls for a 30 amp fuse.
A poster on here recommended (in a different but similar post) this disconnect from Siemens www.homedepot.com/p/Siemens-30-Amp-...tacle-in-a-Steel-Enclosure-WF2030GFCI/3027553
with the Receptacle integrated in the box. My question is would running 10-3 allow me to feed the receptacle as well as the disconnect as opposed to running two seperate cable runs? Is a 15 amp receptacle on what would be a 30 amp circuit an issue?

Those disconnects are nice but designed for a separate 15 or 20 amp 120 volt circuit to feed the GFCI receptacle.

While it is a concern it couls be overloaded another problem as important, maybe more is that the things plugged in are not designed for 30A circuits but limited to 20 for short circuit interuption.
