3.0 AC Electrical System
3.1 System Organization
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. The AC
electrical system supplies power to all of your boat’s AC equipment.
3.1.1 North America/ Pacific Rim Electrical System
If your boat was built for use in North America or the Pacific Rim, the AC
electrical system has one circuit: Line 1. Line 1 is a 50 amp circuit with
three legs: a 240-volt, 60 Hz leg for the air conditioning system, and two 20-
volt, 60Hz legs for all of the other AC equipment.
3.1.2 European Electrical System
If your boat was built for use in Europe, the AC electrical system is divided
into two circuits: Line 1 and Line 2.
Line 1 is a 50 amp circuit that provides power to all of your boat’s AC
equipment except for the air conditioning system. This line is configured as
220 volts 50 Hertz.
Line 2 is a 50 amp circuit that provides power to the air conditioning sys-
tem. This line is configured as 220 volts 50 Hertz.
3.1.3 Wiring System
The AC electrical system on your boat uses four 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 red wire carries the current from the power source to the air condition-
ing system. Each red 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.
The green wires are safety grounds. During normal operation, current does
not flow through the ground wires.
