8.2.3 Main AC Panel
Once AC power is sourced, power is routed to the AC
Panel main breakers. The AC Panel is the lower panel
located on the aft galley bulkhead (Fig. 8.7 and 8.8).
8.2.3.1 Panel Lights
The power for the panel backlights for both the AC Panel
and DC Panel are provided by the DC system. Control
of the backlights is through a two-position toggle switch
labeled “PANEL LTS” located on the DC Panel (see DC
Electric Systems chapter of this manual). This switch is
located middle right side of the DC Panel.
8.2.3.2 Volt Meter
A volt meter is located on the panel for each line. Line
voltage is displayed regardless of the “AC MAIN” breaker
setting.
8.2.3.3 Breakers, Switches and Fuses
All panels and systems are wired in compliance with the
standards and practices as outlined by ABYC and the
European ISO standards. As such, all electrical systems
aboard your boat are equipped with over-current protec-
tion in the form of breakers or fuses. Specific systems or
components have been equipped with breaker switches
for convenience in manual interaction. A blue LED is
associated with each switch breaker and will illuminate
when the breaker is in the “ON” position.
8.2.3.4 Main AC Panel Breaker(s)
Each line on the main AC Panel has a 30 amp toggle
double-breaker switch labeled “AC MAIN”. Once these
breakers are switched on, the corresponding AC Panel
component breaker are energized.
