"Is there some problem with the Power Port Premier?"

Sure sounds like it. Did you try installing it in a normal circuit?

"Also, does this make the circuit 30A (two 15s ganged together)?"

I've never heard of running two lines in parallel from the panel box to one outlet. I'm no electrician, but as an educated guess I'd say the answer to your question is "no." The power port isn't rated for 30 amps as far as I know. Were you to actually draw 30 amps through it I think you would be taking a risk.

In practice it's possible one of the breakers would trip before the other, in which case you might not be able to pull a full 15 amps through each.

Why do this instead of installing a second outlet for the other line?
