It was the dock breaker. Dock power is two 30a sockets. one socket has somehow flipped half way. AC resumed after I reset both breakers. This is dangerous for winter live aboards when all the electric heaters would turn off.
What could be the reason of the tripping? I have 3 heaters running at the time, all on low settings. The boat has two 30a sockets, the other end of her power cable is hard wired to a single 50a plug. I used a pig tail reverse converter to connect to shore power. Could this lead to over heating?
