13. Turn the shore power receptacle selector switch (if present), located on
the upper left corner of the AC Control Center, to select your boat’s
forward or aft shore power receptacle(s), whichever the shore power
cord(s) is connected to.
14. Switch the Shore circuit breaker group(s) on the AC Control Center
“ON.”
15. If your boat was built for use in Europe, there is a Reverse Polarity
indicator for each Line circuit on the AC Control Center. If one or both
of these indicators illuminate:
a. Immediately switch the associated Shore circuit breaker group(s)
“OFF.”
b. Switch the AC Main circuit breaker group(s) “OFF.”
c. Switch the circuit breaker that is installed in the shore power source
box “OFF.”
d. Disconnect the shore power cord from the shore power source outlet.
e. If you are in Germany or Italy, rotate the cord’s plug 180 degrees,
then plug the cord into the outlet again. Otherwise, proceed to step
g.
f. Repeat steps 10 through 14. If the Reverse Polarity indicator illumi-
nates again, disconnect the shore power cord.
g. Notify marina management of the reverse polarity problem and use
a different shore power source box.
If the Power Available indicator(s) illuminates, power is now available
to the other circuit breakers on the AC Control Centers (as long as the
Line circuit that the circuit breakers are on is connected to the shore
power source).
16. Monitor the voltmeter and ammeter while your boat is connected to the
shore power source. The operation of the voltmeter and ammeter is
described later in this section.
Only people who are trained and experienced in working with electricity
should service your boat’s high voltage AC electrical system. Inexperi-
enced or untrained people may be killed or seriously injured by incor-
rectly servicing the AC electrical system.
