I’ve been doing some research on our coaches regarding the power, and it directly relates to the generator (or sort of).

A Great Laker who was employed by GM when our coaches were built insists that they were all made with 50 amp service.

I’ve done quite a deep dive on the parts book and the service guides and he appears to be correct.

The only cord listed is 50 amp, and the number of coaches fitted with a 30 amp plug in the 50 amp cutout (in the cord bin on the side of the coach) is very high.

Does anyone have additional information?

The 30 amp cord seem to be an “previous owner” convenience add on.

But some things don’t make sense. Why have a 30 amp cord (3.6 kW) when you have a 6kW generator?

Whereas 6kW is very conveniently 50 amperes?

I understand two air conditioners requiring more than 30 amp service.

Comments.
