leg one, leg two question

[beancounterman]

Actual, the "equal loading" issue can be confusing. If properly designed, the
system should
split the loads so that under most foreseeable operating conditions, neither leg
is
overloaded, and under the most common conditions, the loads are roughly even.
But the
design of the electrical system cannot anticipate the variety of different
situations the
operater will encounter and therefore how the operator will respond. For
example, on a
typical coach with three roof airs, one air will be on one leg, and two on the
other. If the
operator wishes to run two a/c's, the total load will either be on one leg or
split between
two, depending on which a/c's are running and which a/c is not. Wiring 120 volt
resistence heaters presents the same situation, that is, the loads on the legs
and their
"balance" will be determined by which heaters are turned on. It has also been my
experience that this is not an issue unless one or the other leg is exceeding 50
amps while
the other leg under utilized under "normal operating conditions."

Relax unless you are seeing an overload.
