120 Volt Circuits (Domestic Only)

Microwave

Supplies AC current directly to the micro-

wave oven. See the microwave manual for

more information.

Outlets

Supplies electrical current to the cabin elec-

trical outlets. AC electrical outlets are pro-

vided with ground fault interrupters (GFI) to

protect against electric shock. These outlets

should be tested periodically to ensure

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.

GFI outlets do not provide 100% protection

from electric shock. Even though ground

fault interrupters provide protection by

reducing exposure time from line to ground

shock hazards, it is still possible to receive

an electric shock from defective appliances

or power tools and misused electrical equip-

ment.

4.6 Battery Charger Operation

Your boat is equipped with two battery

chargers. The forty amp charger charges

the house, electronics and bow thruster bat-

teries and is calibrated to provide the proper

charge levels for AGM batteries. The twenty

amp charger maintains the engine batteries

and is calibrated to provide the proper

charge levels for lead acid batteries. Chang-

ing the battery specification will require reca-

libration of the battery chargers. The battery

chargers are located under the mid berth

settee.

At dockside, when the boat is connected to

shore power, the battery chargers maintain

the charge on the house, electronics and

bow thruster batteries. When operating on

the generator, the house battery charger

must be on to maintain charge to the batter-

ies. The generator charging system does

not generate enough current to keep up

with the electrical demand of the house and

electronics batteries.

The wires that supply DC charging current to

the batteries are protected by an internal

fuse in the battery chargers and three circuit

breakers, one for each battery bank output

wire. The breakers protect the DC charging

circuit from the batteries to the charger.

They are located on the MDP. Push to reset

the breakers. The internal fuses in the

charger protect the DC charging circuit from

the charger to the batteries.

4.7 Shore Power Connection

Connecting Shore Power

The shore power system is designed to be

connected to a single 240V/50A (230V/32A

for CE) shore outlet. Boats equipped with

240V/50A systems are supplied with a

reverse Y-adapter to make a connection

between the 50 amp shore power cord and

two 120V/30A outlets when a 50 amp outlet

is not available. These 30 amp outlets must

be on separate breakers. No other adapters

are recommended or will supply sufficient

current to operate the boat's systems.
