Running A/C on 15 Amp circuit

Raschko

Just reserved a spot in a state park. The site has a 15 Amp plug in. Will I be able to run my air conditioning?

Should be fine, just get the pigtail adapter.

I've tested ours plugged in at home, and it ran fine.

Pigtail adapter? OK I will have to check into that.

The pigtail is a 15 amp to 30 amp adapter.

@Raschko, have run my a/c and fridge on a single 15 amp circuit in my house(using the.adapter) for two summers now, along with lights and standard electrical draw, and never tripped the breaker. You won't have any problems. In the winter, I've run the alde on electric only and the fridge on electric ( not 12 volt) with lights, etc.and not tripped the breaker either.Good luck and happy t@bbing!

I don't believe any single T@B appliance will draw in excess of 15 amps. The only time you might risk tripping the breaker would be if you ran the A/C and Alde electric heaters at the same time.

If you have an older home, your garage/outside plug might be on the same circuit/ground fault with your bathrooms, so if you run the blow dryer, along with your T@B A/C you could pop something. (Ask me how I know)
