AC Electrical System
Your boat is equipped with a 50 amp AC (alternating current) electrical
system. The power for this system is supplied by either a shore power
source or the generator. The procedures for connecting to a shore power
source and to the generator are explained later in this section.
System Organization
The AC electrical system is divided into two circuits: Line 1 and Line 2. If
your boat was built for use in North America or the Pacific Rim, each line is
configured as 120 volts 60 Hertz. If your boat was built for use in Europe,
each line is configured as 220 volts 50 Hertz.
Line 1 provides power to all of your boat’s AC equipment except for the
air conditioning system. Line 2 provides power to the air conditioning
system.
Wiring System
The AC electrical system uses three types of color-coded wires.
The black wire carries the current from the power source to the equipment
or receptacle. Each black wire is connected to and protected by a circuit
breaker installed in the AC Control Center.
The white wire returns the current from the equipment or receptacle to the
power source.
Safety ground wires are green. During normal operation, current does not
flow through the ground wires.
Bus bars are used in the AC electrical system to help route and organize
the wires. The system’s white, or neutral, wires are connected together at
bus bars. The ground wires are also connected together at a separate bus
bar.
Do not touch the black or white wires while the AC electrical system is connected to a
power source. These wires carry enough current to kill or cause serious injury.
AC Power Sources
You can supply power to your boat’s AC electrical system by using either a
shore power source or the onboard generator.
Shore Power
You can use a shore power source to supply AC power to your boat’s
AC electrical system. To do this, you will need one shore power cord
(50A 125/250V) to connect to shore power.
NOTE: If you leave your boat for more than 48 hours while your boat is connected to
shore power, remove all perishables from your refrigerator. If the shore power
supply to your boat is interrupted, your food may spoil.
