A related question re twin 30-amp cords and outlets vs. one 50-amp circuit.
A boat I looked at the other day had two 30-amp power cords, two 30-amp
connectors and two "shore power" selections on the master AC panel. I'm
familiar with the practice of paralleling two 30-amp circuits to provide
more amperage to the boat, but why then have two independent switch settings
on the master AC panel, one for "Shore Power 1" and the other for "Shore
Power 2"? The AC panel has a large input selector that can choose
"Inverter", "Generator", "Shore Power 1", or "Shore Power 2". The point I'm
missing is why have separate selector settings for SP1 and SP2? I can see
paralleling the two shore power circuits together, either internally or via
an adapter, but why if two 30-amp outlets are available on the dock, would
the builder have provided a means by which to select one or the other 110
VAC cord, but not both?
Any ideas?
Thanks, Bob Peterson

re switching from two 30amp to one 50 amp connection, Gil, why fix what
ain't broke?
