Maintenance:
Kinks may form in the shore power cord.
Routinely extend the cord full length and
straighten the cord.
Power Supply:
The continuous amount of current
z
through a breaker or fuse is 80% of its
rated capacity. A 30 Amp shore power
connnection is limited to 24 continuous
amps.
Use care when hooked to anything
z
less than 30 Amp shore service. 20
Amp shore service is limited to 16
continuous amps.
Electrical Adapters:
Another common adapter is a 30 to 20 Amp
adapter. This type of connector adapts the 30
Amp shore cord to a 20 Amp shore power
outlet.
CAUTION:
If shore power service is limited to 15
or 20 amps, use of light duty extension
cords and electrical adapters will
create a voltage loss through the cord
and at each electrical connection.
Line voltage loss and the resistance
at each electrical connection can be a
hazardous combination. Damage to
sensitive electronic equipment may
result!
WARNING:
Avoid the risk of electrical shock or
component damage by disconnecting
from shore power during electrical
storm activity. Start the generator if
AC power is needed.
NOTE:
Three types of shore power outlets
most commonly used are shown in the
illustration.
WARNING:
Disconnect from shore power before
working on the electrical system.
Disconnect the negative 12 Volt DC
battery cables at the batteries. Remove
rings, metal watchbands and other
metal jewelry before working around
batteries and connectors. Use caution
when working with metal tools. If the
tool contacts a battery terminal or
metal connected to it, a short circuit
could occur causing personal injury,
explosion or fire.
