OVERSEAS ELECTRICAL
CONNECTION
NOTE: Connection to a mains voltage
supply OVERSEAS requires particular
attention.
Care must be taken when connecting
supplies abroad since the supplies can
be of REVERSE POLARITY. The
significance of REVERSE POLARITY is
that when equipment is switched off, it
may not be electrically isolated. The only
certain way of making equipment safe is
to unplug it. A means of checking the
polarity of the mains supply when
overseas is useful.
There are available several proprietary
makes of equipment for the purpose. If it
can be achieved, it is preferable to
connect live to live, and neutral to neutral
to maintain full electrical protection.
CHECK all caravan equipment is set-up to
accept the site supply before actually
switching on.
