A standard 30 Amp service provides approximately 3,600 Watts of power. PKYS notes that this is typically sufficient to run a battery charger, basic AC outlets, and a water heater simultaneously. However, if you have air conditioning, a 30 Amp service is often "barely adequate" to run the AC unit plus one other high-draw appliance (like a hair dryer or microwave) without tripping the breaker.
