7.3.6 Earthing plates
- An earthing plate is a shot-peened plate mounted on the hull to recreate an earth neutral
point on the electrical circuit of the equipment supplying AC power (generator and AC/DC
convertor). The earthing plate earths this equipment.
The earthing plate is not an anode: it must not be allowed to deteriorate.
- If it deteriorates, consult a professional immediately to determine the cause. As the earthing
plate is mounted across the hull below the waterline, if the earthing plate deteriorates the boat
is at risk of sinking.
