I won't add to the recommendations that avoid retasking a PDU
that isn't rated for how you're going to use it. I agree that it's a
bad idea.
As for vendors, you might also want to check out servertech.com
in addition to APC. I've been quite happy with their product line.

Hi all,
We're looking into increasing our power in our colocation from 120V 20 amp
to 120V 30 amp so that we can add more equipment. When looking for PDU's
it seems that a PDU that will take a 120V input and output 30 amps is
uncommon. Most 30 amp PDU's we've seen seem to take a 200V+ input. If we
got a PDU that lists a 200V or 208V input and output, and plugged it into
a 120V circuit, what would be the outcome? Would that be ill-advised?
Thanks!
APC makes them at least:

Better thing might be to upgrade to 20A 208V.
30A 120V gets you 3600 watts
20A 208V gets you 4160 watts.
