Electrical plant
The Grand Soleil 40 electrical plant consists of 2 distinct networks supplied by:
12 V dc
electrical current (direct current) (12 V DC)
220 V ac
electrical current (alternate current)
The main and individual controls at 12Vdc are gathered on the functions panel, on the right
of the chart table e (see page. 45).
The 220Vac control panel is located inside the navigator seat (see page. 48)
For the positioning of the other main components please refer to the scheme on page 49.
12 Vac network
12 Vdc network is the main one, and it monitors:
-
engine starter,
-
all services except those supplied by the 220 Vac.
The all energy is supplied by two batteries located in a place obtained under the astern
cushion of the saloon.
The 100Ah battery supplies the services equipment and can be coupled with another one
bringing the capacity up to 200Ah. The other battery of 55 Ah activates the engine starter.
It must always be hold to the maximum charge.
With a 4 ways battery switch (1-BOTH-2-OFF), located under the chart table, in the
bulkhead side, you can select manually the only battery services choosing position 1, the
parallel with the other battery on BOTH, just the engine battery 2, and the disconnection of
all batteries with OFF.
12 Vdc network’s warning
•
Some board services are directly activated by the control panel switches; other
services are powered by turning on the switch located near the needed function.
•
To each 12Vdc control panel switch corresponds a led which lights on when switch is
powered.
•
The 12Vdc voltmeter located abow side of the 12Vdc control panel, above the switches (see
page 45), is activated by the heavy duty battery switch and shows the existing tension in the
network and consequently in the battery connected in that moment.
