Jack,
Both the SCS units and the Coleman units have two compressors. (Yeah, I know, there are a few one unit SCS units) Newell ran 220 to the units so each compressor would run off a different leg to balance the load. And it’s more clever than that. Comp 1 in Unit 1 ran off one leg, and comp 1 in unit 2 was wired to run off the other leg. Pretty simple strategy to balance the power load. Theoretically you could run one compressor in one unit off 30 amp service. If I tried to run 2 compressors it would trip the breaker or voltage protection system.
