3. ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS
The boat is fitted with two separate circuits: the first is a 12 V dc circuit, the source for which is a set
of AUXILIARY batteries, a set of ENGINE batteries, and a CHARGER connected to a shore 22 V
supply; the main elements it supplies are identified on page 57
The second is a 220 V ac circuit; the main elements this supplies are identified on page 61
3.1. Safety and operating instructions for the 12V electrical system
WARNING
Always:
- Check the condition of the batteries (charge and electrolyte level) and the charging
system before putting to sea.
- Disconnect and remove batteries for wintering.
- Do not let battery voltage drop below 10·5 V during wintering.
- Carry spare lamps for all navigation lights and interior lighting. Respect power ratings,
particularly for navigation lights.
- Check operation of the navigational instruments.
- Check operation of navigation lights before night sailings
Never:
- Work on an electrical installation that is live.
- Make any modification to an installation and the relevant diagrams, unless it is carried
out by an electrician qualified in marine electrics.
- Change or modify the breaking capacity of overload protection devices.
- Replace electrical apparatus or equipment with units exceeding the rated capacity
without uprating wiring and protection.
- Leave the boat unattended when the electrical installation is powered, with the
exception when applicable of the automatic bilge pump and the fire or theft protection
circuits.
If a fuse or circuit-breaker blows continually, a specialist must be consulted to determine the
origin of the short-circuit.

3.2 Batteries
The battery capacity has been designed to meet the power requirements of the on-board
accessories. To avoid any problems, it is necessary to keep a close eye on the maintenance and
correct charging of the batteries.
Set of 2 of 95 Ah auxiliary batteries at foot of companionway
1 65Ah Engine starting battery
Location of isolators in aft port cabin
NOTE
-
When installing new electrical appliances, take care that the overall consumption of these
appliances remains within the capacity of your batteries.
-
Always disconnect the -ve battery terminal before the +ve battery terminal
-
Never allow a conductive object (tools, etc…) to bridge the two battery terminals
-
When handling batteries, keep them horizontal to avoid spillage of electrolyte. Wear
gloves and protective clothing that will prevent any risk of contact with electrolyte in the
event of a leak.
-
In the event of electrolyte splashes, rinse the affected part of the body copiously and
consult a doctor.
