I am really hoping that someone out there has some idea of what is going on here.
Here is what happened.
1) Everything fine tied up behind the house on Fri. 50a split into 2 30s.
2) Arrived at club Fri. Hooked up shore power 50a. Everything looked fine until I put a load on it, A/Cs, then I got a "reverse polarity" light on both circuits. Moved the cables 1 slip over, same shore power circuit of course, and everything worked fine for 2 days.
3) Arrived home Sun. Hooked up shore power and and applied a load which caused the port side volt meter to go from 110 to 0. Unplugged the 30s at the boat connects, reversed them, and now the problem is on the other 110 boat circuit. When I apply a load the volt meter goes from 110 to 0. Also, when there is no load the volt meter jumps around.
I have separate sets of cables for home and for on the boat and the problem occurs on both sets.
Everything runs perfectly off of the generator.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
