20. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM AC
The AC electrical system is 110v 60hz and is as shown on the layout and panel drawings.
The system represents a potential hazard and the following precautions must be applied:
1. The AC system is a double polarity and the wiring colour is brown.
2. NEVER WORK ON THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM UNLESS POWER IS
SWITCHED OFF. REMEMBER THIS IS A TWO-WIRE SYSTEM AND THAT FULL
ISOLATION IS NECESSARY.
3. DO NOT MODIFY THE CRAFT'S ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS OR RELEVANT
DRAWINGS. ONLY A COMPETENT MARINE ELECTRICAL TECHNICIAN
SHOULD PERFORM INSTALLATIONS, ALTERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE.
INSPECT THE SYSTEM AT LEAST BI-ANNUALLY.
4. DISCONNECT SHORE-POWER CONNECTIONS WHEN THE SYSTEM IS NOT
IN USE.
5. NEVER INSTALL A REPLACEMENT ITEM OF HIGHER POWER THAN ITS
PREDECESSOR.
6. USE WHERE POSSIBLE, DOUBLE INSULATED EQUIPMENT OR AS A
MINIMUM, EQUIPMENT WITH AN EARTH.
7. CONNECT METAL PARTS OF ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT WITH A
YELLOW/GREEN EARTH WIRE.
8. SHUT OFF THE AC POWER BEFORE LEAVING THE YACHT.
