Topic: Outlets blown after hair dryer used (Read 2095 times) previous topic - next topic

We have a 2014 Unity. We are presently camping in Utah. Air conditioner was running and had television on with DVD playing. Wife plugs in hair dryer and immediately blows that outlet and we also lose both TVs and the TV inverter box outlets. Any help would be appreciated with what we. An do to fix this. We were plugged into shore power when this happened.

There is a reset button on the bathroom GFCI outlet in the middle, it has even reset my frig operating on electric in the past.  That was after chasing the fuse box and looking all around for a reset elsewhere.

I am increasingly thinking damp or even wet hair is a good thing.

Curious, did you try the GFCI outlet reset, and did it have any effect?  Still trying to get the electrical nuance of the Unity 2016 in our driveway.

FYI
Shore power is 30 amp whereas a house is usually about 100 amps. 
With the A/C, hair dryer and TV and a few more things running  all at the same time you likely exceeded that 30 Amps. 
Checking the main breaker to see if it tripped is the first place to start.
you can use the hair dryer and TV but adding the A/C is likely exceeding the 30A.  To use a hair dryer just shut off a few things or never run it with the AC at the same time.
and then check to see if  the GFI or GFCI circuits need to be reset.
FYI I have a circuit tester that I use first at the pole then in any of the circuits inside.  It is usually designed for 15A circuit; it need the 15A to 30A adapter to test the power at the power.  If you have a surge protector you need to wait for that to click in (cluck sound) before you see power inside.  the Surge Protect does tests before it provides power, It can take a few minutes for it to turn on.
