The 30 Amp power cord is not meant to handle 30 amps for very long and there is quite a bit of voltage drop on it the hotter it gets. You may want to keep an eye on your voltage and how hot the 30 amp plug is getting. If the breakers don't trip at 31 amps it may be because they are not working properly so you may not be protected.

Stay safe and don't let the smoke out.
Does this mean a 50 Amp cord will not handle 50 Amp for a very long time?
