Marine Installation

Figure 9 illustrates a typical marine installation with the following
components:
1. AC power supplied from a shore power connector
2. An AC source panel that includes a Max 30A circuit breaker

that supplies the Freedom Xi

3. An AC load panel with branch circuit breakers that supply only

loads that run off the Freedom Xi

4. Engine negative bus / DC ground bus
5. DC power supplied by a battery bank and protected by a DC

fuse in the positive cable

6. Battery isolator
7. DC alternator
8. Starting battery
9. Drip shield (see next page)
