Testing GFCI Receptacles
The GFCI receptacles are identified by Test and Reset buttons
located between the receptacles’ two outlets.
Test each GFCI receptacle once every week:
1. Press the Test button. If the GFCI is operating normally, this cuts the
power supply to the GFCI receptacle and to all other receptacles on
that circuit.
2. Plug a lamp or other AC powered device into the GFCI receptacle and
turn on the device. The device should not operate.
3. Repeat Step 2 for each receptacle on the same circuit as the GFCI
receptacle.
4. Press the Reset button to restore power to the GFCI receptacle and to
all other receptacles on that circuit.
Electrical Loads
When operating AC powered devices through your boat’s AC electrical
system, be aware that each device exerts a “load” on the system. This load
is equal to the amount of current (amps) that the device draws from the
AC electrical system. The AC electrical system, like your house’s electrical
system, has a maximum total load that it can handle. Each line circuit has
an electrical load capacity of 50 amps.
If the total load on the circuit exceeds the circuit’s capacity, the breaker for
that circuit trips. This means that the devices operating from the circuit are
drawing too much current.
Do not overload the electrical circuits. If an excessive load trips a circuit breaker, turn
off all devices connected to the circuit, then switch the breaker back ON.
A list of common AC powered devices and the approximate maximum
current that they draw when operating are shown in the
Electrical Loads
chart. If you use an AC powered device that has an electric motor, such
as a vacuum cleaner or electric drill, the device should have a
motor load
plate
mounted on it. This plate lists the current that the device draws while
operating.
As the chart indicates, appliances that use a motor or a heating element
draw relatively large amounts of current. Therefore, be especially careful
when using curling irons, toasters, coffee makers, hair dryers, food mixers
or similar types of AC powered devices. Do not use too many of these
types of devices at the same time.
If the GFCI receptacle or any other receptacle on that circuit still
has power after the Test button is pressed, do not use any
of the receptacles on that circuit. Contact a qualified electrician
to make the appropriate repairs.
