We stayed at my dad's this weekend and hooked up to his 20 amp breaker in his work shed. We have a 50 amp Elkridge and used a 50 amp to 30 amp converter. Everything ran fine until we ran the air conditioner. At the time I didn't realize the box was only 20 amps. Needless to say, it popped the breaker and the extension cord got hot. We ended up not running the ac and just used lights and a fan.
my dad is having his electrician come out to upgrade the box to 30 amp but asked if it should be a 120v or 240v with 30 amp. I have no idea, but I do need to be able to run the a/c.
Will this be enough to run the a/c and is 120v ok?
thank you!
