Pulling more than 50 amps ?
Our park electrician says that some of the big rigs with 3 ACs and electric everything can sometimes draw more than 50A from a 50A pedestal. Truth or BS?

... If he stands by his assumption, that you cannot draw more than 50 amps on a 50 amp CG plug, the names stay. I would hope the OP asks this CG electrician to clarify what he told the OP. Doug

What am I missing?
My thoughts also. I really got confused by the name calling over what seemed such a simple statement.
My simplistic mind saw no confusion on the electrician’s statement. I read it as him implying that the “big rig” could draw more than 50 amps from one leg of the 50 amp service and trip that breaker.
