AC DISTRIBUTION PANEL
NOTE
The Distribution Panel includes both a 30 amp Shore Power Circuit Breaker and a 30 amp Ship’s
Power Circuit Breaker for the optional Generator installation. Between the Power and Ships
Power Circuit Breaker is mechanical interlock. This interlock ensures that only one power source
is supplying the Distribution Panel at a time. To energize the panel from two sources would create
serious safety hazards.
