Electric Load Distribution
Question about the distribution of the electrical load in our 5er. We have a 50 amp service and I have a surge protector that shows the voltage and amperage fir each leg. It seems that every time ...

No need for concern as the loads don't have to be balanced. Best not to draw over 40A sustained on one leg.
Do you ever check your home for balanced loads? It's the exact same circuit type but with a 100A, 200A, etc capacity. OK I know you're unlikely to unplug your house very often. :B
Agree with Biscuit - I turn off all loads when plugging/unplugging except charger. It reduces electrical transients, arcing, etc. Ditto for DC loads.
