Default Need Opinion ( electrical )


Our mobile home is in a park.

There's distribution post out back
with a meter and a 100amp ckt breaker.
It feeds the ckt breaker panel in our home.

A few weeks ago, the A/C was ON,
the electric dryer was running,
and the 100a ckt breaker tripped.

It happened again last week.

This is a new problem.
I figure the dryer pulls about 30a
the A/C shouldn't draw much more.
There's the usual "current sippers" around the house.....

Do I have a "tired" main ckt breaker
or
do A/C's pull more current when something $$$ is getting bad.....

???
