220 Vac network’s warning
•
In spite of all builder’s careful measures (high-sensitivity protector with earth
disconnecting switch) the alternate current network remains dangerous.
•
It is opportune to adopt any type of precautions for a correct and safe use of the 220 Vac
network.
•
These precautions have to be higher then in any other domestic situation where everything is
relied on prudence.
It is particularly dangerous the use of the 220 Vac when wet or with the inside of
the boat damp.
•
When leaving the boat, switch off the 220Vac Main Breaker and unplug the shore power.
•
Make sure that for the connection of the 220Vac the quay plug/socket is still water-tight and
not oxidized.
•
The 220Vac network is fitted with a protection system connected to the Main Breaker and
with a magneto thermal switch for each function.
•
Between the boat protection system and the watertight inlet plug the circuit is protected
only by the shore power terminals safety switch.
•
Beware: the safety system is not always available on every mooring wharf network
Caution:
The 220Vac system is not geared to bear voltage jumps of over 5%. If this
should occur, immediately cut off the 220Vac supply with main breaker.
Magneto-thermal switches
The magneto thermal breakers located on the control panel have a twofold use:
-
Activate the various functions,
-
Protect the function and its equipment from excessive overload.
