2.5 The electric installation
2.5.1 The AC-installation
The yacht has got a shore connection (option) by which it can be supplied with electric power from
ashore when being berthed in a port. The plug box ( meeting the CEE-norm) is installed at the transom of
the yacht. The power is supplied into a shore connection unit, placed under the chart table.
The plug box is operational as soon as the shore supply cable has been plugged in. It only serves the
operation of electric machines.
2.5.2 The DC–board net
All electric devices aboard are supplied with the 12 V DC. A main-switch is installed in he electric panel
at the chart table. Power distribution is effected by a switchboard above the chart table. The lettering next
to each switch refers to the corresponding consumer.
You can find all the switches for the 12 V consumers at the switchboard. By this you can operate different
consumer-groups ,being marked with logos or lettering, separately. Some of the switches are designed for
an installation of additional electric devices. There are only automatic fuses used. So you only have to
press them in case of a breakdown. If a fuse blows repeatedly you should spot the cause or consult a
specialist (electrician).
2.5.3 Operating the installation and specific features
The combination of an AC- with a DC installation offers a clearly higher comfort but requires some
special knowledge.
Charging the batteries
All batteries are maintenance–poor and drain-protected. They are charged via a buffer diode
by the
motor-generator. Charging the starter battery always takes priority to ensure a safe start of the engine.
AC–consumers
The only fixed link is the one to the battery charger. The safety contact plug-box at the electric panel is
designed for electric tools to be used for small repair work.
DC–consumers
The essential consumers are:
-
navigation lights
bilge pumps
-
engine displays
tank display
-
VHF-radio wiring (option)
electronic devices
-
devices for comfort
Navigation lights have absolute priority. In case of a lack of capacity first all other consumers have to be
switched off. By a stand-by operation of the engine, even when under sail, the batteries can be brought up
rather quickly. After a while you can switch on the other consumers again.
