done..thanks for the correction..
but what happens if the designed system to use
25amp@240v - or about 5000kw.. or about 425ampsDC@12V
plugs into the
shore power and needs the 25amps..
well the bluesea breakers won't trip.. great..FYI I hate the 80% rule..
but its 1ish amps over the 80% rule, if in the US.
that's right the breaker on the
pedestal trips.. its under the NEC and the 80% rule and 25amps is just over it..
nit pick on rules..ok..I'm wrong in some aspects..right in others..but in the freezing rain..plugged into a shore
pedestal..and the shore pedestal break trip at 2am.. think about who right/wrong. or warm..because they only loaded the breakers to 80% instead of 100% like bluesea..
I do hate the 80% rule BS!! I would rather see all breakers carry the stated current continuously..
now for an opinion on fuses..for large current fuses that carry more than their rated current continuously..wouldn't that mean the rating is wrong.. a 400amp fuse should carry 400amp forever...500amp for a time..1200amps for a few milliseconds..but 425amp forever??don't seem right to me
there is reason behind all this
I took out my old HVAV, used 14a. replaced it with one that used 12amps...ok.
now the old unit didn't
work in heat only AC..great lets put in the vberth and use both..but wait..12+14=26amp...bluesea breakers are ok..as is the
generator..but 30amp shore..I don't think so..dam 80%rule..both on and running(not a start up current condition)..hum?? kinda sucks..
flame me!! hate me!! but there is a reason..'
