The charred connector is actually the *hot* lead, assuming it was wired
up correctly.

The L shaped one is Ground, and the L points to Neutral. The neutral
and ground are fine.
You have identified this as a L5-30 30-amp connector, while I think it
is a L5-20 20-amp connector. In either case, I seem to have suffered
a mirror-image reversal.

There are some more plausible explanations if it is the hot wire that
burned up. Like short to some other ground return. Still leaves open
the question of why some circuit-breaker didn't blow.
