DANGER
!
ELECTROCUTION, FIRE OR
EXPLOSION HAZARD
Contact with live wires or working on
an energized electrical system can
cause electrocution. It can also cause
sparks, resulting in fire and/or explo -
sion. Both cases will result in death
or serious injury. DO NOT work on an
energized system or allow unqualified
personnel to work on the system.
4.5 AC Main Distribution
The AC MDP is located in the cabinet to
the starboard side of the companionway
entrance. There are a number of breakers on
the AC MDP, which need to be switched ON
for their corresponding components to oper-
ate.
The AC electrical system operates on a 240
volt, 50 amp, 60 Hz system. Models with CE
designation operate on a 230 volt, 32 amp,
50 Hz system. The AC system is fed by the
shore power or by the generator. Your boat is
equipped with an isolation transformer.
AC Multi-Meter
Use the arrow keys to scroll through digital
readouts for amperage (A), voltage (V), hertz
cycles (Hz) and watts (W).
• (A) Indicates the total amperage being
drawn through the AC MDP. This is the
total current level of all of the AC equip-
ment in operation at the time.
• (V) Indicates the voltage supplied to the
panel. Ideally the voltage should be ap-
proximately 240 volts (230 for CE) but
never less than 216 volts (210 for CE).
• (Hz) Indicates cycles, which should be
60 (50 for CE).
• (W) Indicates total watts being consumed
as a result (voltage x amperage).
AC Main Breakers
The shore power and generator main break-
ers protect the AC distribution system. These
breakers are very sensitive. The resulting
power surge that occurs when connecting
the dockside cord or starting the generator
may cause the main breaker to trip. To avoid
this surge, always turn the selected main
breaker to the OFF position before plugging
or unplugging the shore power cord or start-
ing or stopping the generator.
The following breakers protect the boat’s AC
components:
House Charger
The house battery charger charges the
house, electronics and bow thruster batteries.
This breaker should ALWAYS be on when-
ever the boat is occupied and either the shore
power or generator is operating. The battery
charger is automatic and equipped with an
ammeter to monitor charging. See the battery
charger owner’s manual for more information.
Engine Charger
The engine battery charger maintains the
charge on the engine batteries. It is automatic
and is equipped with an ammeter to monitor
charging. See the battery charger owner’s
manual for more information.
Gyro Charger
The Gyro Charger circuit is reserved for future
expansion of the addition of a gyro option.
