Power is supplied from the selected main breaker(s) to the
individual circuits, via the circuit breakers in the panel. For a
description of the individual circuits, and which components they
supply, please refer to the wiring schematics in Appendix C.
4 . 3 . 3 . Operating Notes
The greatest amount of A.C. power is available when connected
to both 120 V 30 A shore powers, or the onboard generator. If
too much load is applied when connected to the single 120 V
30 A shore power, it is possible to trip the shore power inlet
breaker. This should not happen while connected to both 120
V 30 A shore powers, or while running the generator, unless
extraordinary A.C. loads are applied via the 120 V outlets in the
cabin, cockpit, and engine room.
When using A.C. power, it is a good idea to monitor the voltage
available, and load applied, periodically, to detect abnormal
operating conditions early. To check the voltage and amperage,
select which power source you wish to check with the selector
switch below the volt and amp meters, in the A.C. cabin panel.
The volt meter will indicate the current voltage of that source,
and the amp meter will indicate the load presently being applied
to that source. If voltage supplied is lower than 105 V or higher
than 130 V, discontinue use, and correct the problem as soon
as possible.
Operating your A.C. electrical system with low, or
high, voltage may damage some on-board A.C.
electrical appliances.
4 . 4 . BONDING SYSTEM
The purpose of the bonding system on your boat is to provide
a low resistance electrical path between otherwise isolated
metallic objects, particularly those in common contact with sea
water and potentially subject to galvanic corrosion.
The bonding system is connected to two large zincs mounted to
the transom of your boat. These zincs are provided to purposely
