The white wire carries the current from the equipment
or receptacle back to the power source.
Ground wires are green. During normal operation,
current does not flow through the ground wires.
Buss bars are used in the AC electrical system to help
route and organize the wires. The system's white or
neutral wires are connected together at buss bars. The
ground wires are also connected together at a separate
buss bar.
Do not touch the black or white wires while the AC
electrical system is connected to a power source.
These wires carry enough current to kill or cause
serious injury.
NOTE: Remove all perishables from your refrigerator if
you leave your boat for more than forty-eight hours. The
power supply to your refrigerator may be interrupted
and your food may spoil.
To supply shore AC power to both Line 1 and Line 2,
each line must have its own shore power cord connected
to its own shore power source.
To connect to a shore power source:
Do not supply power to the water heater when it is
empty. Doing so may damage the unit’s heating
element and cause a fire.
1. Switch the Water Heater circuit breaker on the AC
Control Center "OFF". Do not switch the breaker on
again until your boat's fresh water system has been
filled, pressurized and primed.
2. Switch the Shore 1, Shore 2, and both Generator
circuit breaker groups on the AC Control Center
"OFF".
