All,
I have 220 power at my dock for a lift and would like to use that power to supply shore power to my trawler that is set up for a 50a 220 service.
However, the wiring I have on the dock won't support 50a, and will more likely only support 30a.
Is there anything I'm missing in setting up a 220v 30 plug for my shore power?
Sure I realize that I won't be able to run everything, and wouldn't have the need to. The main goal is to simply keep the batteries charged. Would like to have AC for those few summer nights when we occupy the boat overnight. AC specs for breaker are 20a to 14a for the 16btu unit, and 15a to 10a for the 12btu unit. Need to check the sizes of the breakers.
No need to ever run the grill, stove or high draw stuff, with the exception of rarely running the AC.
Thoughts?
