T&T: 30 amp service vs. 50 amp service

[Ron Rogers]

Peter,

That's clear but you left one answer out. If you are connected to two 30 amp 
outlets on two different legs on the dock with a "Y" adapter to a 50 amp 
cable to a 50 amp inlet on the boat, how many amps are available to the boat 
panel at 240V and how many amps are available at 110V?

Thank you,
Ron Rogers

| Reading between and across the lines in the various posts, it seems that 
some people are discussing a 50 amp cord from the boat, with a Y cord on the 
shore end to plug into two 30 amp/120V outlets, while others are thinking of 
a 50 amp/240V outlet on the dock, with a Y cord permitting two 30 amp 120V 
cables to 30 amp inlets on the boat.

| The first arrangement will have 30 amp breakers on the dock, and a 
two-pole 50 amp breaker on the boat, while the second will have the 50 amp 
two-pole breaker on the dock, and 30 amp breakers on the boat
