So i have a real stupid question about circuit breaker boxes and circuit loads....as i stated before im not a household electrician i am a vehicle technician so please bare with me....

Question.....i thought the sum of all the circuits could not be more than the "main" or feed...so if you had a main feed of 30amps your circuits tied into the box could not be more than that.

The reason i ask is i have a 30amp main but 7 other circuits ranging from 15 amp to 20....so a/c is on 20 the other 6 are 15. Now i know that they usually arent all on at one time but if you combine the A/C and fridge i gather you'd pop the main breaker like this coach will.

What am i missing? What is the coach missing or has been changed....learn me something new today friends!
