2870 OFFSHORE

4-8

UNDETECTED FAULTS IN THE AC ELECTRICAL SYSTEM COULD CAUSE THE WATER

AROUND THE BOAT TO BECOME ENERGIZED. THIS COULD CAUSE A SEVERE SHOCK

OR EVEN DEATH TO SOMEONE IN THE WATER NEAR THE BOAT. NEVER SWIM OR

ALLOW SWIMMING AROUND THE BOAT WHEN THE 110-VOLT AC SYSTEM IS ACTI-

VATED BY THE SHORE POWER CONNECTION.

Disconnecting procedure for shore power connection

Turn the main breaker on the 110-volt AC panel to the “OFF” position.

Turn the disconnect switch on the dockside outlet to the “OFF” position.

Disconnect the cable from the dockside outlet and replace the outlet caps. Disconnect the cable

from the boat and replace the inlet cap. Store cable.

110-Volt AC Panel and Accessory Operation

The AC panel is located in the cabin. The following is a description of the AC panel equipment

and the breakers that protect the accessories:

AC Main Breaker

Protects the general distribution network. This breaker is very sensitive. The resulting power surge

that occurs when connecting the dockside cord may cause the main breaker to trip. To avoid this

surge, always turn the main breaker to the “OFF” position before plugging or unplugging

the shore power cord.

Polarity Light

The red light indicates reverse polarity current supplied to the panel. This situation will cause the

red light to remain lit. Additionally, a special relay attached to the main breaker will automatically

turn the main breaker off whenever reverse polarity is achieved. If reverse polarity is achieved,

immediately turn off all cabin 110-volt breakers and dockside outlet breaker

s. Discon-

nect the power cable from the dockside outlet

and notify a qualified electrician to check the

dockside wiring.

Outlets

Supply electrical current to the cabin ground fault interrupter (GFI) electrical outlets.

Note: All AC electrical outlets are provided with ground fault interrupts to protect against

electric shock. These outlets should be tested periodically to insure proper operation

by pressing the test/reset buttons in the center of the face plate. GFI outlets do not

protect against short circuits and overloads. This is done by the outlet breakers on

the AC panel.
