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?

Drawing more than 50 amps on EITHER leg- tripped breakerS. They are duplex/pinned together.
No idea why this topic gets so much attention. BASIC MATH.
Not always pinned together. That can really (trip) your mind when you find one leg of the 50 amp missing and the post has one of the 50 amp breakers tripped.
Electronic Technicians, Electricians, are like artists. Very Very temperamental. You can't get two to agree on how to solder on a connector. :S I taught many techs over the years as well as owning my own electronic service business.
It is amazing how long a discussion like this last. I'm sorry that people get their feathers ruffled easily. There is some amazing talent here on this thread alone.
I'm not indicating that the quoted person here is ruffled. I just happened to digress on my point about the breakers not always being tied together.
