Breaker Issues in Upper 90's
I suspect low shore voltage due to high usage or another shore power problem.
Test the shore outlet. It should read 120V from either side to neutral (also
either side to ground) and 240 volts across the two hots. Remember that, certain
inductive loads will draw more current when the voltage drops thereby causing
overloads. On coaches with three air conditioners it should be wired so two are
on one leg and one on the other (probably the water heater is on thew leg with
the one air conditioner).

gauges... Leg One Volts reads left of 60 volts, Leg Two Volts reads 125...
> My Leg One Amp gauge reads 0, Leg two reads normally as it fluctuates to the
pull of the air conditioners and appliances... If I run all three air
conditioners and I turn on the water heater it kicks the breaker out on the
pole. I can run two air conditioners and the water heater ok... It just seems
that everything thing is on Leg Two... Never had this problem before now. I've
always been able to run everything at once with no issues... Help if you can...
Thanks
