Why does the dodge motor home air conditioner keep blowing the breaker it needs 30 amp and the new generator is big enough?

Most likely there is an electrical short somewhere in the system, check the wiring.

Why does my 2004 envoy air conditioner not work when i am not moving?
get fan clutch checked may be blowing air but not enough
Can a 120V generator run a camper's air conditioner?
Well all generators with a few exceptions produce 120 volts. What will determine if a generator will run your air conditioner is the number of watts the generator will put out. You need to learn the wattage needed by the air conditioner and also learn the max watts put out by the generator you have (Assuming you have one already) it the generator produces more watts that needed by the AC unit you are good to go. Not on the other hand if the generator you have dose not produce enough watts or you do not have one then it is a matter of buying a generator with the wattage required by the AC unit in your camper. Now if you are going to buy one I would also determine what else you would like to run from the generator (in addition to the air conditioner. Figure out the watts need by these items add them together with the watts needed by the AC unit. Then buy a generator big enough for your needs.
Would a 15 kva 380 volt generator be big enough to run a house with a 60 amp breaker 380 volts?
A 15 KVA - Generator operating at 380 Volts can cater to only 22.79 Amps. It cannot cater to a 60 Amps breaker
What is the problem on a 1997 Nissan Maxima GTE the air-conditioner is not blowing cold enough air?
Freon is too low, or too high.
An alternator could be severely damaged mechanically in attempting to sychronize it with the power line under what two conditions could this happen?
I'm not sure this qualifies as two different conditions, they are both similar.If the generator is more than a few degrees out of phase.If the generator phase angle is leading at the exact moment it closes to the bus.Explanation for #2: When manually syncing a generator, it is quite difficult to close the breaker at exactly 0 degrees, which is, of course, the desired outcome. If you close the breaker with the generator lagging a few degrees, the bus voltage (utility or other generator) will attempt to speed up the generator as if it were starting a motor.No harm done if the phase difference is just a few degrees. If, on the other hand, you close the breaker while the generator is leading, the bus voltage attempts to 'yank' the generator back to where it belongs, like a brake. If the phase difference is great enough, this can shear driveplates and even break crankshafts!The operator, then, shoots for zero to a couple degrees lagging when the breaker closes.
Will A 3000 watt generator can run a 2 HP air conditioner?
Since watts are equal to volts times amps it is hard to say if a 2000 watt generator will be enough. If you know the amperage of the A/C then using the formula Amps = Watts/ Volts. 2000/110 = 18 amps. If the A/C draws more that 18 amps then a 2000 watt generator will not be large enough. To find the generator size you will need, just use the same formula and try different generator wattages until you find one that is about 5 amps higher than the A/C amps.
When wiring a generator directly into your circuit box with a 30 amp breaker is 10 gauge wire big enough?
Generators should not be wired directly into your distribution panel. The generator should be wired through an approved transfer switch by a licenced electrician. To do otherwise would be sheer folly and leave yourself vulnerable to a void insurance policy on your dwelling should any mishaps occur because of the project not getting proper approval. ====================== The biggest danger to direct wiring a generator is that you can have the breaker feeding from the generator on at the same time that the main breaker for your primary service is also on. This feeds the generator power out of your building, to the utility pole, to any lines still connected to that utility service and possibly other customers or buildings. This supplies power to the utility lines when the repair workers may be under the impression they are not live. On the other hand, if you direct wire a generator without a transfer switch, and fail to turn off your main breaker, when the primary service is restored you now have 2 sources of electrical power on the same lines and I cannot fathom the dangers involved. But the direct answer to your question is, Yes, 10 gauge wire is sufficient for any 30 amp breaker provided you aren't running several hundred feet.
If you put a computer in front of an air conditioner and the air conditioner is on will it hurt the computer?
unless the air conditioner is on the same circuit and drawing enough power to hinder the computer, or there is enough humidity to cause condensation on the computer, no. computers love to be cold.

Which space heater is the best for me in order to avoid blowing the fuse on my circuit breaker (in other words, which has enough heat with the least power use)?
You can avoid that problem all together with a gas heater like Desa International GWN30TA Vent-Free Gas Space Heater
Can you give me a sentence with the word generator?
A generator is a device that creates energy, or transforms it from one form into another. Here are some sentences.I bought a generator in case the electricity goes out.The generator in the dam was strong enough to power the whole city.That machine is a generator.
Why does a new AC in a new house throw the outside circuit breaker once a week?
If the breaker only trips once a week you may have a bad breaker or the breaker may not be large enough for your A/C unit. You should also have an electrician look for any loose connections from the unit to the breaker panel. (It is not uncommon to have a bad breaker)
