- Dutch_12078Explorer IIIWe have tripped a 50 amp pedestal breaker, but since it occurred almost immediately after hooking up with a minimal draw, I was sure it was a faulty breaker. I reported it to the office, and since it was late in the day, I told them we were ok for the night using the 30 amp outlet. The next day the breaker was replaced, and we had no further issues.
- IvylogExplorer IIIAnd she could not have a $300/month power bill, but big MH can when it's hot out. While that may not trip two 50 amp services, I've seen one leg on mine come close with two AC's, dryer running, AquaHot on electric and the micro and induction cook top all going at once, but NO in ten years.
- BB_TXNomadIs suppose it could be done if you had some combination of an AC, microwave, water heater, clothes dryer, electric skillet, hair dryer, etc. all wired on one hot leg and on at the same time. But highly unlikely I would guess. Can't remember anyone ever saying they did trip one.
