I'm running three 15M A/Cs at a time. No problem. We even have electric water heat, washer, dryer, microwave, washing machine and battery chargers but not all at the same time. The power management system sheds power starting at 45 amps per leg.
What EMS do you have? ALL the EMS systems I have seen and worked on, when on 50 amp service, the SHED is disabled. Most EMS systems, when on 50 amp service, the amp draw goes blank, because 100 amps is more than enough service for the motorhome(sub 500k cost). Doug
I don't know what EMS system it is because it's built in to the Trip Tek system. It's very interesting because it has shed settings for both 30 amp and 50 amp. The other day, I hooked up an adapter to 30 amp because that was all that was available and the system auto-sensed the 30 amp and applied the shed settings for that.
I usually don't bump up against the limits at 50 amp except when I first arrive at a camp site. That's when the electric water heaters kick in at full blast and the battery chargers come on at full blast and all three A/Cs also want to go on. The system nearly always sheds at 50 amps when I first hookup.
Just talked to Newmar. Your system is thru the Silverleaf, not the Trip Tek. Your model King Aire has a LOT of hi draw 120 appliances and yes, on your particular RV, you can easily go over the 100 amp threshold, with the 3 roof AC units running.
3 AC units 45 amps
1 Oasis units 12 amps
2 Inverter/Chargers 20 amps
You are at 75 amps before running the Refer/Cooktop/dishwasher,etc. Do you have the all Electric model? That pulls a lot more AC amps than the standard model with some LP appliances. Plus you have 16 AGM batteries instead of 8. Doug
