[QUOTE="nicebutdim, post: 561672, member: 38404"] Indeed, but no double socket is going to hold up well when working at pretty much it's full capacity for 6hrs at a time. I haven't had time to absorb full details of the OP, but the first thing that struck me were those 2g sockets. Much better to replace them with 4x 1g, although that circuit is still going to be overloaded at times when everything is turned on at the same time from cold. Typical food van with demand far outstripping supply. I've seen this numerous times and they just keep adding more power hungry appliances, while expecting everything to work. Best that usually happens is they learn to switch on appliances in stages and hope not too many overlap as thermostats close. Taking the other demands into account it appears as though the club needs to understand the limitations of their supply, and manage loads accordingly, or stump up for a larger supply. That really is the bottom line. [/QUOTE]
