    Single pole vs. double pole
    Does 30 amp double pole pull from both sides of panel in 200 amp service square d box,here's the problem, we have 12 campers at land, five campers will have be running window units and lights at night, but the other 7 will be need 30 amp service, we had the new additions wired but when they run air it loads up so much some campers roof air units will not come on, not enough power for the compressor to engage, so we thought maybe not enough power from street, but we can run 6 we know and the problem arose when the new guys bought 2 30amp square d double pole breakers... I know nothing more than what I've told you about electricity, just trying to find out what or where the problem might be, we are running 10-3 with ground to all campers, never had problem till the new double pole breakers showed up, OK... question is I guess will it make a difference using single pole vs double pole?? Please help, not going to do anything ourselves but change breakers, everything here is checked by utility monthly due to it being out in the woods so no worries with any advice
