I was running heat pump for heat, plus 400 W electric heater. It blew the main 30 amp breaker on the boat. Both heaters went off but not the cabin lights? Apparently the main breaker does not control everything on the boat or maybe it switched automatically to batteries for some circuits when main blew?
Also wondering how 2 heaters could have blown 30 amp breaker unless heat pump uses 25 amps or so?
Does this mean heat pump would not run with just batteries ie , without shore power or Yanmar generator/alternator on??
