Electrical System
Boat AC Inlet, Main Circuit Breaker & ELCI
6.7 120 Volt AC Electrical System
The AC electrical system is supplied 120 volt, 60
cycle current by a shore power outlet at dockside.
It is wired totally separate from the 12 volt DC
system and is equipped with an onboard isola-
tion system. Your boat is equipped with one 30
amp shore power cord and an inlet connection
located below the gunnel on the starboard side
of the cockpit near the transom door. A main
circuit breaker located in the shore inlet panel
protects the circuit from the shore inlet to the
cabin AC panel. An Equipment Leakage Circuit
Interrupter (ELCI), in the inlet panel provides
additional whole-boat ground fault protection
(electrical shock protection from stray current)
for the entire AC shore power system. Another
Shore main circuit breaker and breakers for each
accessory circuit are located in the cabin AC panel.
The AC system is fed by the shore power inlet
connection. All AC current is distributed to the
AC accessories through individual circuit breakers
located in the cabin AC panel. The main break-
ers protect the system from an overload and the
reverse polarity light indicates any problems due
to an improper shore power supply. All AC outlets
in the cabin and cockpit are protected by ground
fault interrupts to protect against electrical shock.
DANGER
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK IN WET
WEATHER, AVOID MAKING CONTACT WITH THE SHORE CABLE
OR MAKING A CONNECTION TO A LIVE SHORE OUTLET. NEVER
SPRAY WATER ON ELECTRICAL CABLES WHILE WASHING
DOWN DECKS.
DANGER
TO REDUCE THE POSSIBILITY OF AN ELECTRICAL SHOCK, IT IS
IMPORTANT THAT THE AC GROUND SYSTEM IS FUNCTIONING
PROPERLY AND THAT A PROPER CONNECTION EXISTS
BETWEEN THE SHORE POWER CORD, THE SHORE POWER
INLET, THE BOAT BONDING SYSTEM AND THE DOCKSIDE
OUTLET GROUND CIRCUITS. IF THERE IS ANY DOUBT ABOUT
THE INTEGRITY OF THE GROUND CIRCUIT, A QUALIFIED
MARINE ELECTRICIAN SHOULD BE CONTACTED IMMEDIATELY
AND THE AC POWER SHOULD BE DISCONNECTED UNTIL THE
NECESSARY REPAIRS ARE COMPLETED.
