30 amp with a/c units?
Can we run both a/c units (15 &13.5) on 30 power? It is 100 degres where we're at and one a/c is barely keeping up.

- It can be done, but you need to use one of the plug-in voltage meters to watch the voltage. If it does not drop into the red, you should be OK. Just make sure that you do not start both units at the same time, and cut back on all other power use. No microwave, hair dryers, or any other device that uses more than a very small amount of current. Like others have sait, it is not advisable, but it can be done. Be sure to check you power connections, plugs and sockets for overheating. If any get too hot, then cut back to just one unit. On my very clean 30A RV circuit at our house, I have run both with no problems.
- I run both my 15K units on 30 amps. Nothing else though. Each of my 15Ks take 12.5 amps.
Mike - We run both AC on 30 amp. No problem EMS should be able to manage it.
- I can only run one on my 30 amp system. With the generator I can run both.
