Two things come to mind -
The pedestal receptable has a damaged or weak contact on that terminal and is not quite making contact with the spade on your plug. As a result, it would sit there arcing and generating heat.
or
Your overloading that 30A. Breakers typically require a rapid high amp, high heat load to trip. You can run them up slow and steady and they will hold well beyond 30A, even though they are overloaded. Might be time to use the 50A cord!

I would talk to the C.G. about the female plug at the tower, I think Brad was right on, and that is where the problem lies.

I think that it could have been that too, after closer examination of the plug (top picture) I see what looks like a spark burn then traviling down, I dont want to blame my DW cause it will make her feel responsable for the problem. so I just replaced it, but I'll check the plug install from now on to make sure it is in all the way.
