Hi.
I am in holidays at the campsite Camping Olhao in Algarve, Portugal and I have in my caravan an air conditioner that consumes about 9 Amps (220V). Unfortunately the electricity sockets available here for the campers are protected with circuit breakers of 6 Amps (220V) and that cannot be changed to a higher amperage. In order to have my air conditioner working I did run two cables connected to a socket each and inside my caravan I did join the live wires together and the neutral wirtes together in order to split the 9 Amps I need into the two circuit breakers of 6 Amps each. With this operation I manage to use the air conditioner, but it does not split the amperage 4.5 Amps into each circuit breaker (half of 9 amps), I get 6 Amps in one circuit breaker and 3 Amps into another.
I would like to find out if there is any way that I can control the splitted amperage in order to get as closer as possible to 50% (4.5 Amps) into each circuit breaker, by doing so I will be able to use more electrical appliances at the same time.
Thanks in antecipation.
