Connector on the left is an L6-30. What's the one on the right?

L11-30 maybe but I will call it Frank wait it is the female part how about Francis will that work. :)

L11-30 would fit the 30 amp 250V rating stamped in the housing.

L11-30 fits the pin configuration, but it is specified 3 phase? The screws would then be marked X, Y, & Z. This one is marked B, W, & G. Possibly mis-marked from the manufacturer?

Nope, not mis-marked. However, identifying the screws as black and white on a 250V connector instead of X and Y is no longer in fashion (it would be appropriate on a 125V connector, but in this case your connector has two line terminals).

OH_Varmntr has it right. It predates NEMA, so looking at the chart above will throw you off. That's a non-nema Hubbell connector. Hubbell invented the "Twist-Lock" plug, and has the trademark on that term.

Look here:

Note that Hubbell's connectors were not the only twist to lock connectors that predate NEMA. California Standard plugs are in fact still the standard of use when it comes to twist locking 50A plugs:

No mis mark. The letters are for for black, white and Green. It is for single phase. Green is the receptacle with the tab, GROUND. White goes to the wider of the two plain slots and black goes to the smaller one.

Sorry, but there is no neutral in this 250V connector (which is why both slots are the same width), so "white" is indeed misleading.

Solved - guess it goes on the shelf as a curio! Can't imagine where I'd use it. Thanks all!

Since it has no UL rating, I'd agree. It's only allowed for repair of something existing. They seem to be worth something on eBay though.

Why are you guys calling it the L11?

It looks like the L10 is the same thing in 125/250v - so a valid single phase part with the other markings?

I vote L10-30r

You are right, both slots are the same but what about the left one? That also says 250 and one slot sure looks wider than the other.

Because an L10-30 would be labeled 125/250v.

Both of the OPs receptacle ends are labeled 250v.
