Hughs Autoformer
I was wondering if anyone out there has any experience with the Hughs autoformer. Its suppose to give the voltage a boost if the incoming voltage drops below a specified limit.

I hope I'm not stepping into one of those topics that gets everybody upset but can you explain the reasoning behind that belief? I've never encountered it (yet) but I've talked to others that have.
50A/240V is 12kw. Why would somebody believe something plugged into a 12kw pedestal can draw more power than that? Am I completely misunderstanding how this works?
I'm firmly placed in your corner on this issue. My unit is a 30 amp unit. My shorepower connection is protected by a 30 amp breaker. In theory (the perfect world) if I try to draw 31 amps, it trips the breaker. So how can I steal power?
I have run into a bunch of parks that won't allow the autoformer, thats why mine is hardwired in. Yet I've found a couple parks that sell the autoformers...go figure.
