230V MAINS ELECTRICAL
EQUIPMENT POWER
CONSUMPTION
Please note:
It is possible that the 230V mains electrical
equipment may not all operate simultaneously.
A typical UK motorhome site mains hook up
point provides a maximum output of 10 amps
and on some continental sites the available
output may be as low as 5 amps.
If your loading exceeds the site supply it may
trip the site circuit breaker. Please check the
available mains output with your site operator.
Similarly loadings on each circuit breaker
within the vehicle should be observed
A label positioned close to the MCB’s will
identify which appliances within the vehicle
are fed from which MCB. Consulting the
table (Typical Appliance Consumption Figures)
in conjunction with this label, will give an
indication of which appliances can, and
cannot, (site supply allowing), be operated
simultaneously.
