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

[ron barr]

Ron,
I understand that one has at 120V.... 60 amps - two 30 amp legs as opposed to a
single 30 amps but not as much as a 50A which gives a total of 100 A or 50 on
two legs of 120V.

By the way where is this Hubbell Y with the indicators available for less than
the Marinco?

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
