Are we reading different data sheets?
The one I have says "Automatically restores power to ... loads when total load current drops below 30A for 120V 30A shore cords, 50A for 120V 50A shore cords; or 30A to 75A (field adjustable) for generators."
As far as the ONE main, it refers to one unit on one cord. If you have two cords and a split buss you should be able to shed 6 loads, or 5 cords on 5 split busses you can shed 15 loads. The box doesn't know how many busses are running elsewhere, only the one it controls. If that were not the case you could only use one of the things in the whole marina.
