4F4: AC Metering
Just forward of the starboard salon door is an analog AC Voltmeter and a digital
AC ammeter. These measure the voltage and current being used by the boat from
either of the two power circuits, depending upon the meter selector switch in the
AC panel illustrated on page 4.10..
In the photo, with the “Ammeter/Voltmeter”
switch set to 1, we have a reading
of 119 volts, and it is drawing 11 amps of current. To read the voltage and load
on the other circuit, we would throw the switch to “2”. When you are checking
voltage and current, remember to check both sides! Currents should not exceed
the amperage of the shore outlet or the source.
A warning light has been added below the ammeter showing the status of the
automatic engine room extinguisher.
The AC Voltmeter and ammeter.
The fire extinguisher status light
has been added below the ammeter.
