OPTIONAL 110 VOLT A. C. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
The optional A. C. electrical systems consists of shore power
receptacle, A. C. control panel with main breakers, port and
starboard branch circuits and duplex outlets. After activating
the branch circuits, appliances may be utilized in the same
manner, as they would be ashore. In the interest of safety, only
three wire grounded portable appliances should be used on board.
Shore Power is brought to the boat by making use of a Shore
Power cord plugged into a suitable 30 amp AC receptacle on the
dock and the Shore Power receptacle on the boat located aft in
the cockpit. The recommended procedure for making this
connection is as follows:
1.
Set the two A. C. Main Breakers to “OFF”.
2.
If the receptacle on the dock includes a
disconnect switch, set it to “OFF”.
3. Connect the Cable, first to the yacht, then to
the dock, particularly in this order if there is
no disconnect switch on the dock, to minimize the
danger of immersing a “live” power line, Avoid
unnecessary contact with the cable in wet weather.
4.
Dress the cable so that there is no strain on the
connectors and in such a manner that it cannot be
damaged by chafe. Allow more slack than in the
mooring lines.
5. Set the shore power switch “ON”.
6. Turn the A. C. Main Breakers “ON”.
The following is the recommended procedure for disconnecting the
shore power.
1. Turn the A. C. Breakers to “OFF”
2.
Set the dock discon nect switch to “OFF”
