Our 44' trawler has 3 electrical inlets for shore power: 30 amp, 50 amp, a/c. We have only used 30 amp which sometimes leaves us a little short and the main circuit snaps off. We have been told that if we get the bigger cord and kick up to use the 50 amp inlet we will have more available juice but it will not operate the a/c. We have also been told that the only way we can run a/c from shore power is by using a 50 amp source (available at our marina) and getting a splitter and an additional 30 amp cord and run one cord from the splitter to the 30 amp inlet and the other to the a/c inlet. We are told this will allow us to run the a/c but it will be a separate circuit and will add no more available power for the rest of the vessel. Would appreciate any thoughts.
