Caravan Service Systems
3.3.2
On leaving caravan site
●
first switch off the site supply.
●
switch off the caravan RCD unit.
●
then disconnect the pitch lead.
In case of difficulty consult an approved electrical installation contractor (who may be the local electricity
board). It is dangerous to attempt modifications and additions yourself.
▲
Lampholder-plugs (bayonet-cap adapters) should not in any circumstances be used.
●
replace the cover of the socket outlet at the site supply point. It is dangerous to leave the supply
socket or supply flexible cable live.
Every 12 months, the caravan electrical installation should be inspected and tested and a report on its
condition obtained as prescribed in the Regulations for Electrical Installations, published by the Institute
of Electrical Engineers.
3.3.3
Generators
●
Switch off all appliances, the miniature circuit breakers and the residual current device.
●
Start the generator and allow to run for a few minutes to stabilise.
●
Connect the caravan to the generator.
●
Switch on 16 amp miniature circuit breaker.
●
Switch on the residual current device.
●
Switch on the fridge (230 volt phase) or plug in a 230v light to one of the 13amp sockets. This is to
provide a load on the generator and help remove any “spikes” in the supply which can damage the
charger unit.
●
Switch on the 5amp miniature circuit breaker and any other appliances you require.
▲
It is always advisable to have at least one other mains appliance switched on with the
charger unit to minimise the chance of damage to it.
▲
Do not connect the 12 volt output of the generator to the battery terminals. The AC ripple
must not exceed 10%.
3.3.4
Overseas connections
▲
Connection to a mains voltage supply overseas requires particular attention.
Care must be taken when connecting supplies abroad since the supplies can be of reverse polarity.
The significance of reverse polarity is that when equipment is switched off it may not be electrically
isolated.
The only certain way of making equipment safe is to unplug it.
