Dogbone heat? 50A/30A
Before you say anything, I'm going to buy a new dogbone today.
I moved my rig into position to get ready for our eclipse vacation. I have a 30A receptacle that I can use in this parking spot (RV is 50A). It's fairly new and only 6' 12ga from the main breaker box.
Anyway, my dogbone had a lot of corrosion on it so I cleaned it up with a wire wheel on a dremel. No copper left - just steel.
I tried it with 2 air conditioners and it got quite warm (not hot). Then with one ac and it was a little bit warm. Now with just the fridge on, it's not warm at all.
My question is this: assuming I'm drawing 20-25A for the 2 ac, should the dogbone get warm at all? What's 'normal'?
