OS 315

4.4 AC System

The AC system is fed by the shore power outlet or by the

optional generator. It is wired totally separate from the

12-volt DC system and is equipped with an isolation

transformer. The isolation transformer maintains correct

AC polarity regardless of the polarity of the shore power

supplies and eliminates the need for a galvanic isolation

system and a reverse polarity indicator. Refer to the

isolation transformer manual for additional information.

All AC current is distributed to the AC accessories through

individual circuit breakers located in the AC panel. The

main breaker in the panel protects the system from an overload. All AC outlets in the cabin are protected

by ground fault interrupters to protect against electrical shock. A cord set is provided to supply power from

the shore power outlet to the boat’s AC shore power inlet.

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.

TO REDUCE THE POSSIBILITY OF AN ELECTRICAL SHOCK, IT IS IMPORTANT THAT

THE AC GROUND SYSTEM IS FUNCTIONING PROPERLY AND THAT A PROPER CON-

NECTION 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 MA-

RINE ELECTRICIAN SHOULD BE CONTACTED IMMEDIATELY AND THE AC SHOULD BE

DISCONNECTED UNTIL THE NECESSARY REPAIRS ARE COMPLETED.

CONNECTING PROCEDURE FOR SHORE POWER CONNECTION

Turn the AC main breaker to the “OFF” position. If the dockside outlet includes a disconnect switch, turn

it to the “OFF” position also.

To avoid strain on the cable make sure it has more slack than the mooring lines. Dress the cable so that it cannot

be damaged by chafing between the boat and the dock. Make sure the cable does not come in contact with

the water. Then connect the cable in the boat plug inlet and the dockside outlet, making sure the connection

plug includes a three-prong plug with a ground wire. Tighten the lock rings on both the shore and the boat

connector plugs. Turn the dockside disconnect switch or circuit breaker to the “ON” position.

SWIMMING NEAR A BOAT OPERATING ON AC ELECTRICAL SYSTEM CAN LEAD TO

SEVERE SHOCK AND DEATH. NEVER SWIM OR ALLOW SWIMMING WHEN THE AC

SYSTEM IS IN USE.

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CORRECT THE WIRING YOURSELF. ELECTRIC SHOCK CAN

CAUSE SEVERE INJURY OR EVEN DEATH. ALWAYS HAVE A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN

CHECK WIRING.
