I stand corrected. Thanks for the info Rene.Rene T said:My 5vr awning, slide out and front and rear jacks run off 12 volt. One of our TV's is also 12 volt.

You are right Kev. I am trying to answer his questions because I feel sorry for the guy. He is asking specific questions and people are arguing about the electrical code.Kevin Means said:Rene's right. I was just at an RV show today looking at a new AC powered RV awning, although I believe most are 12 Volt DC. One of our flat screen TVs is 12 volt and two are AC powered, our jacks are 12 volt, our refrigerator is AC but can run off 12 volts via the inverter... point is, you just can't blanketly answer yes or no to those questions.

?the neutral only carries the current difference [from] Hot 1 to Hot 2. EXM. If hot 1 is drawing 40 amps and Hot 2 is drawing 22amps then the neutral is carrying 18amps (40-22). IF they were from the same phase then the neutral would be carrying 620amps, [62 amps?] well over its capacity.
? My RV text?[says]?that a 50 amp 120/240 vac power supply system has three current-carrying conductors as compared to two current-carrying conductors in 30 or 15 amp systems.
