CAUTION
WARNING
-When onboard electric power consumer systems are used without engine operation
(for instance at port, staying onboard and using lamps, electronics, heater and so on for
longer periods).
An AC system of this kind requires careful operation and awareness of the risks
involved. Electric shocks may be lethal, cause fire or explosions. Keep in mind that the
system is used near water and in a boat made of metal, which increases risks
considerably compared to normal installations at home.
The system is equipped with circuit breakers (Navix) with ground leakage protection, to
trip the system in case of any grounding issues or voltage leaks. It is also equipped with
an isolation transformer (Mastervolt) to protect the boat hull and equipment from
electrolytic corrosion.
The main components are (listed in flow order from shore to batteries):
1.
Shore power cord with sockets. To lead power from the shore power outlet
socket to the power supply socket on the boat. Male connection at shore,
female connection onboard the boat.
2.
Shore power connection socket on the boat, male. Outside of stern SB sofa.
3.
2x Residual Current Circuit Breakers (make Navix). Inside stern SB sofa.
4.
AC isolation transformer (make MasterVolt Mass GI 3.5). Inside stern SB sofa.
5.
2x AC/DC battery chargers (make Cristec). Inside stern SB sofa.
Read the manuals for each component carefully, and always consult qualified and certified
service staff in case of any questions, malfunctions or alterations.
To avoid electric shock and fire hazard:
Switch off the shore power switch before connecting and disconnecting the cable.
Connect the shore power cable to the boat before connecting it ashore.
Disconnect the shore power cable ashore before disconnecting it from the boat.
Close the cover of the shore power socket/distribution board carefully (to avoid getting it
wet).
Do not touch the energised high voltage system.
Do not allow the shore power cable to hang in the water. If it does, a hazardous electric
field could be created in the water.
If a Residual Current Circuit Breaker (ground/earth fault breaker) is tripped, disconnect
the shore power cable immediately and contact a qualified electrician for repairs before
the system is used again.
Disconnect the shore power system when batteries are fully charged or otherwise not
needed anymore.
