I have a 120v breaker for a block heater but I can't find any control related to a block heater.

If I indeed have one, shouldn't there be a switch or lamp?

Pedestals

Can a pedestal with a 50 amp outlet and a 30 amp outlet support full load on both simultaneously making 80 amps? Or can it support only 50 amps. I suspect the latter but not sure.
