Electrical System
6.10 120 Volt AC Electrical System
Overview
The AC electrical system is supplied 240 volt, 60
cycle current by one 50 amp power inlet at dock-
side or by the generator. It is wired totally sepa-
rate from the 12 volt DC system and is equipped
with an onboard isolation system.
A main circuit breaker protects the circuit from the
shore inlet to the cabin AC panel and an Equipment
Leakage Circuit Interrupter (ELCI) is located in a
panel on the starboard rear side of the cockpit.
The Equipment Leakage Circuit Interrupter pro-
vides whole-boat ground fault protection (electri-
cal shock protection from stray current) for the
entire AC shore power system. It also protects
the system from reverse polarity problems due
to an improperly wired shore power supply. Main
breakers and individual breakers for each acces-
sory circuit are located in the cabin AC panel.
The AC system can be fed by the shore power
inlet or by the generator. Main breakers in the
AC panel are used to select the source of power
desired, the shore inlet or generator. These break-
ers also split the 240 volt AC power into two 120
volt AC circuits. The AC main breakers must be
switched to the OFF position before selecting a
different power source.
All AC current is distributed to the AC accessories
through individual circuit breakers located in the
cabin AC panel. The main breakers protect the
system from an overload. All AC outlets in the
cabin and cockpit are protected by ground fault
interrupters to protect against electrical shock.
While moored dockside, 120 volt AC power should
be utilized from dockside power, if available. A
cord set is provided to supply power from the
shore power outlet to the boat’s 120 volt AC
system.
DANGER
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK IN WET
WEATHER, AVOID MAKING CONTACT WITH THE SHORE
CABLE OR MAKING A CONNECTION TO A LIVE SHORE
OUTLET. NEVER SPRAY WATER ON ELECTRICAL CABLES
WHILE WASHING DOWN DECKS.
DANGER
TO REDUCE THE POSSIBILITY OF AN ELECTRICAL
SHOCK, IT IS IMPORTANT THAT THE AC GROUND SYSTEM
IS FUNCTIONING PROPERLY AND THAT A PROPER
CONNECTION EXISTS BETWEEN THE SHORE POWER
CORD, THE SHORE POWER INLET, THE BOAT BONDING
SYSTEM AND THE OUTLET GROUND CIRCUITS. IF THERE
IS ANY DOUBT ABOUT THE INTEGRITY OF THE GROUND
CIRCUIT, A QUALIFIED MARINE ELECTRICIAN SHOULD BE
CONTACTED IMMEDIATELY AND THE AC POWER SHOULD
BE DISCONNECTED UNTIL THE NECESSARY REPAIRS ARE
COMPLETED.
Recommended procedure for making a
shore connection:
Turn the AC Shore Main breakers to the OFF posi-
tion. If the dockside outlet includes a disconnect
circuit breaker, turn it to the OFF position as well.
To avoid strain on the cable, make sure it has more
slack than the mooring lines. Dress the cable so it
cannot be damaged by chafing between the boat
and the dock. Make sure the cable doesn’t come
in contact with the water and connect it to the boat
inlet plug and then the dockside outlet, making
sure the connection plugs include a three-prong
plug with a ground wire. Press the cord firmly into
