Default capacitor or something to provide steady 110V to stop breakersfrom blowing

You could try using an isolation transformer (110V to 110V) this would not deliver a greater amperage than what the breaker is rated for, but may solve a GFI problem. I have heard of a device that indoor grow ops are using now to prevent brown outs in their neighborhoods when their lights turn on. I'm not sure exactly what it is, but I believe what it does is somehow draws power from a few AC cycles then slowly increases the number of cycles it draws from until it is running at the full 60 Hz (I think), another thing you could do (maybe) is connect to a second outlet in another lot, I would think that each trailer is on it's own breaker (BE VERY CAREFUL doing this as you may end up crossing hots, or even worse if the plug in the park is wired wrong you could pump 220V into your system!). I'm pretty sure that all capacitors would do is shift the AC phase, maybe a UPS might solve the problem.

Hello All,

We have a converted bus and when we travel we mostly plug into regular 15

to
20 amp outdoor GFI outlets. We have a few lights, RV frig, few heaters,

bat
chargers, etc and this almost always blows the breaker at the outlet we

are
plugged into.

Does anyone know of any products or perhaps someone can help me make
something using high power capacitors that will deliver greater amperage

for
our bus while only drawing up to 15-20 amps from the source?

Thanks In Advance!
