Adding-on to 110v shore power system.
Hi,
Known: 50 amp shore power receptacle. 30 amp boat connection. 30 amp isolation transformer. 4kw generator connected to boatside 110v system. Battery chargers and 110v receptacles and 13v ac lighting fed from shore power/isolation transformer. Required: Converting this steel boat to live-aboard with occasional trips. Need to increase electrical system to run: 14amp convection oven, new 10 cu ft fridge and TV and stereo system. Solution: I know the simplest, and most EXPENSIVE, solution is to buy and install a 50 amp isolation transformer. BUT.. Could I install a second 30amp boat receptacle, connect it to shore power using a 50x30x30 'Y' power cord, run second 30amp wiring to new 50amp breaker thence to receptacles for oven, fridge and TV? This system would not be connected to generator nor to existing system nor to hull. Would this work? My concern is the 'Y' connector on the shore power cord. Any suggestions most welcome.
