I’m currently docked at the New Orleans municipal marina, and I’ve had lots of problems with the power here. I’ve asked the liveaboards here and they all have issues.
The main breaker on my AC panel on the boat tripps once every two weeks or so. All I have running are two fans and a large home size dehumidifier. My liveaboard dock neighbor is nice enough to come flip the breaker back on for me when I get an alert the power is off, but it’s getting old. His power also goes off quite often (breaker trips) and he doesn’t have much of a load on his little sail boat either he said. He in convinced it’s a problem with the dock power and has complained, but nothing ever happens.
Is there such a thing as a auto resetting breaker?
I have ohm tested the both of my cords as recommended by some here on the TF and they are good.
Anything else I could test?
The dehumidifier pulls less than 8 amps and I have two 30 amp cords plugged into a brand new 50 amp splitter.
