The load calculations worked. This was a 2 pole 50A circuit breaker. The air conditioner pulled twenty and the the drier pulled thirteen. The drier is the little cube driers that could barely hold four towls.
The trailer itself was not very big and had accomodations more akin to a travel trailer than a blocked up mobile home.
This was in its own enclosure (rust covered)and the owner could not afford to buy a new disconnect. I would have bought him one if I could have afforded it myself. He had lived there for ten years and had never cycled the breaker until it started tripping out. Luckily it only cost twelve dollars to replace it.
I am probably going to go back and help him out with all the safety issues I saw there when I get finished with my current sub contract that I am doing after work and on the weekends.
I gave him a list of the safety problems and some precautions to take to keep his family safe until I can hook him up.
