You left out part of OPs statement
"The electrician installed the 30 AMP plug and we plugged in the Lodge, but my Good Governor showed that only 104 AMPS were coming into the Lodge. We then had the electrician install a power booster...." (OP meant VOLTS)
SO barn was getting low voltage to begin with.
Electrician should have noted that it wasn't adequate for 15A let alone 50A/30A etc.
Wire size is TOO SMALL
Electrician MAY have recommended upgrading run to barn, OP did not disclose that. That is what I would have recommended over installing a booster.
Low voltage could be from Power company, too light of gauge of wire for the run and or corroded/damaged wire and or connectors..
Booster transformer may have been the cheaper alternative given to the OP, but we will never know for sure since the OP did not disclose all the details..
But in the end the OP APPROVED whatever the electrician did.. Electrician most likely was following the OPs budget.
