Hi all,

I was talking to a rep yesterday and he said that the center a/c unit should not be used on shore power otherwise it would cause premature failure due to power draw. My thinking is that the EMS panel will shed the load if it gets too high. Any opinions on this?

Thanks,

I think along your lines. We always have used our center AC while on shore power and the EMS has taken care of any excessive power draws by taking it offline when necessary . . . which has happened once or twice.
