i own an RV storage facility and have 50 amp plugs onsite for my customers. The plugs and wiring was done by a licenced electrician. I have one customer who complained that even though the plug is working he is not getting 50 amps because he can not run his AC nor his refrig. I moved the customer and he had same issue at another plug then the 3rd plug worked. I called the electrician out and he said everything was fine. How do I prove to this customer that the plug is putting out 50 amps? Also what could be the cause in the rv that would cause it to work sometimes and not all the time.
Just so you know, current is drawn by the load as needed and doesn't put it out, as per say. Assuming the outlets in question are indeed 240vac, the question remains of what this customer means by .....he can't run said equipment. Does he have a energy management system that's shedding this equipment above say 30amp? Does he have some sort of protection that trips with low voltage, perhaps? Is he tripping your feeder breaker which if 50amp, may be faulty? Does he possibly only have voltage on one side of these outlets, which would only allow him to run what's on that side of his breaker box and would be my guess or he could have a intermittent breaker box problem of his own, killing the one side. So what is the exact problem? Now that he's happy and things are working with the 3d site, one must wonder and again, he could have an intermittent problem of his own.
