Amps For Dummies!!! (Like Me)
I think I may know the answer to this, but just want to help educate myself in case I don't quite understand.
If you are plugged into a 30 amp power source - does that mean you cannot draw more than 30 amps without tripping a breaker?
So, let's say I have a fireplace going which draws 11.7 amps max, the refrigerator which let's say draws 10 amps, and a microwave going that draws 9 amps - then I am at my limit on amps from a 30 amp plug?
