If the extension cord was plugged into the pedestal 20A and tripped the pedestal 30A then this sounds like a pedestal problem. I guess one should assume you had some kind on load on the extension cord when you flipped on the breaker?
Actually the extension cord was not hooked to anything when I flipped the pedestal breaker. I agree that that part of my problem was probably pedestal related although I could not duplicate the surge with my meter hooked up. But then again, at that time there was no load on the 30amp either.
Wow incredible. No 30A load on the pedestal and it tripped with the addition of a 20A cord with no load?
The jury isn't out on this one - the pedestal has problems.
Now if you can reproduce the problem at another CG then there is more to the story. :@
