If they ran 50 amps they would have had to run much larger wire. $$$$$$$ |
that certainly makes sense for a campground where the power pedestals are 30/20 setups... a double-pole 30amp 'main' breaker services each panel, and therefore only 10/3 wire cable is required, which is true: a LOT easier to deal with, and capable of handling this setup just fine.
Clarify what you mean by 'No main breaker', though. If there is a 30amp double-pole breaker set for EACH of these sites, in a Main Utility Panel on the property, I would guess, where then is the 'MAIN BREAKER' for all of these?
