That should be something you can find at your local hardware or electrical
supply store.

I just found an L5-30R by searching Home Depot's site (Leviton Model
70530FR): $13.95.

Be aware that you are asking to plug a 30-amp device into a standard wall
outlet (I assume you mean a standard US receptacle with two vertical
blades and possible a ground pin). This is not recommended, since those
types of receptacles usually only accomodate up to 20 amps. You need a 30
amp circuit.
