DISCONNECTING PROCEDURE FOR SHORE POWER CONNECTION
Turn the main breaker on the AC panel
and the disconnect switch on the dockside
outlet to the “OFF” position.
Disconnect the cable from the dockside
outlet and replace the outlet caps. Dis-
connect the cable from the boat and
close the inlet cap. Store cable.
AC BREAKER PANEL
The AC panel is located in the cabin.
The following are descriptions of the
AC panel equipment and the breakers
that protect the accessories:
AC Amp Meter
Indicates the total amperage or current being drawn through the AC panel. It is the total current level of all
of the AC equipment in operation at the time.
AC Volt Meter
Indicates the voltage supplied to the panel.
AC Main Breaker
Protects the general distribution network. This breaker is very sensitive. The resulting power surge that occurs
when connecting the dockside cord may cause the main breaker to trip. To avoid this surge, always turn the
main breaker to the “OFF” position before plugging or unplugging the shore power cord. The AC
panel also is equipped with a relay that will cause the main breaker to trip when reverse polarity current is
detected.
Reverse Polarity Light
The red light indicates reverse polarity current supplied to the panel. This situation will cause the red light
to remain lit. Additionally, a special relay attached to the main breaker will automatically turn the main
breaker off whenever reverse polarity is achieved. If reverse polarity is achieved, immediately turn off all
cabin AC breakers and dockside outlet breakers. Disconnect the power cable from the dockside outlet and
notify a qualified electrician to check the dockside wiring.
Reverse Polarity Light Test Switch
There is a momentary switch located below the reverse polarity light in the AC breaker panel. This switch
is used to test the reverse polarity light to ensure that it is functioning. The light can be tested by depressing
the switch whenever the AC system is activated. The reverse polarity light should be tested each time the AC
system is activated. If the light does not activate when the switch is pressed, disconnect the shore power cable
and notify a qualified electrician to check the light and the dockside wiring if necessary.
Microwave
Supplies AC current directly to the microwave oven. See the microwave manual for more information.
