Ok, so there's TWO problems here: same phase (0V differential between L1 and L2) and 25A circuits. They should be dual 50A circuits.
Would you mind mentioning this campground? Sounds like a good place to stay away from. If true, I'd also recommend making a post on RVParkReviews.com.mx727 wrote:Yes, the 240V/120V service is a single "split" phase service, but if you view L1 and L2 on an oscilloscope with respect to the neutral, they WILL be 180 degrees out of phase.
Both 120v legs are the same phase and the system is better referred to as split phase with two legs.
