Well there's lots of reasons. I did it on my old TT.
Added a new panel & cord for the incoming 50.
Used the old 30 panel as a sub. (un-bonded)
Fed old from new using 30 amp breaker in new.
Moved the A/C from old to the new panel.
Added other circuits to the new panel for elect heat and elec cooking.
It solved all of the "power management" problems 30 amp had. You could run everything at the same time. No more tripping the 30 amp main.
So....I understand why he wanted to do it. I just don't understand how he did it. Since he doesn't return, it could be a sign that he doesn't understand electricity, he's in the hospital or worse. Also could be that he fixed it and just left us all hanging. The last guy I tried to help with an electrical problem called us all drunks and never came back. Some questions may never be answered. It's like one of those movies that leaves you hanging in the end. I hate those don't you? I still wonder what happened to Tony Soprano.
