A while ago, I upgraded the AC on my boat with a SmartPlug, a 30A galvanic isolator and a Bluesea panel (ELCI Main 30A Double Pole with two single pole 15A).
A while later, I added a marine air conditioner and added 25A breaker to the panel for the air conditioner. This proved inadequate (keeps flipping the main breaker).
So I ordered another 50' 30A Smartplug, and then discovered that the second socket on the dock pedestal was 50A.
I guess what I should do is to get a 50A to 30A pigtail adapter and another 30A breaker, and connect the air conditioner to that.
Does that sound right? Do I also need another galvanic isolator?
Thanks,
John
