shore power vs generator
On my '78 FC the generator seems to feed only one phase of the
breaker panel. There is a double pole 30 amp breaker in the generator compartment, a double pole 30 amp breaker below the main panel, and double breaker on main panel labeled MAIN, It seems to be divided so that you don't overload the generator, but I would like my microwave and coffee maker to work while boondocking, or just stopping for lunch. I have a 6.5 Onan, which should handle most loads provided I don't run both AC units at the same time. I seem to be missing the 110-volt wiring schematic so I can't follow it. The two 30 amp shore line connectors are no longer there, just the 50 amp. The shore line is wired to feed both phases from a single 30-amp circuit. I need to monitor my usage to prevent tripping the shore breaker, so I am used to it. Is it normal for the generator to be limited in this fashion? Gardner 78FC33 |
