TYPICAL AC MAIN AC CONTROL PANEL

REVERSE POLARITY INDICATOR

Before activating the panel main breaker visually check for
a green light at the reverse polarity indicator. The green
light indicates there is no reverse polarity. If  the red light
appears  on  the  revese  polarity  indicator  a  hot  wire  and
ground  may  be  reversed  somewhere  in  the  circuit  from
the dock to the main panel or there may be an overcur-
rent condition. Check the ELCI breaker as it will “trip” if
a reversed polarity situation develops.
In all cases do not activate the main panel breaker. Take
immediate corrective action to fi nd the cause of  the re-
verse  polarity  situation.  At  this  point,  disconnect  the
shorepower cord from the marina power center and call
for professional assistance.

PANEL MAIN BREAKERS

The main panel breakers for Leg A and Leg B also called
shore  power  1  and  shore  power  2  deliver  electricity
through a system of  sub breakers to the entire boat. Turn
any sub breakers found “on” to the “off ” position. This
prevents any excessive equipment motor draws and may
eliminate any system arcing.
With the reverse polarity indicator showing the green icon,
activate the main breaker by pushing the single throw arm
to  the  on  position.  Notice  that  each  breaker  is  marked
with  the  on  and  off   terminology,  AC  electricity  now  is
distributed to the 120 volt leg B of  the panel. Follow the
same procedure for the main breaker for leg A.
Turn on sub breakers as needed always being conscious
of  the load current meters..

50 AMP AC GENERATOR BREAKER

When the boat is under generator power AC electricity
is distributed through the 50 amp main generator break-
er located on the AC main ship’s panel under the main
breaker.

See the previous illustration and the generator

section for further information.

Before activating the generator AC breaker it is recom-
mended to make sure all the equipment breakers are “off.”
Next, make sure the generator is started. Slide Bar B up
and activate the paralllel (transfer) breaker. Move Bar A
up and activate the generator breaker. The panel should
now be controlled by the generator. Switch on sub panel
breakers as needed.

LINE VOLTAGE/CURRENT METERS

After  the  shore  power  30  amp  main  breaker  or  genera-
tor  50  amp  breaker  is  activated  line  voltage  will  display
on  the  line  voltage  meter  of   the  main  panel.  As  Leg  A
and Leg B volt equipment breakers are activated the load
current meter (extreme right side of  panel) will show an
amperage  draw.  Normally  the  amperage  will  ascend  as
more equipment breakers are activated and will descend
as equipment breakers are deactivated.
After the 30 amp main panel breaker or generator breaker
has been activated no voltage will appear on the 120 line
voltage meter at the extreme left side of  the main control
panel with the 120 shore power switch in the “off  or cen-
ter” position. This is normal. See the illustration.
The 120 volt shore power switch is located between the
line voltage and load current meters. See the illustration.
As stated above with the shore power switch in the “cen-
ter”  position  it  is  off.  When  the  shore  power  switch  is
moved  to  the  left  the  line  voltage  meter  will  display  up
to 120 volts available at leg A. As equipment breakers are
activated the load current  (amperage) meter will ascend
and descend as equipment breakers are deactivated.
When the shore power switch is moved to the right the
line voltage meter will display up to 120 volts available at
leg B. As equipment breakers are activated the load cur-
rent (amperage) meter will ascend and descend as equip-
ment breakers are deactivated.
As  a  general  note  on  equipment  breakers  when  leaving
the boat it is recommended that most breakers be turned
off.
It may be necessary to leave the battery charger on dur-
ing extended periods and the salon refrigerator. Since the
refrigerator is dual voltage (12 and 120) make sure the DC
refrigerator  breaker  is  activated  and  the  AC  refrigerator
breaker is deactivated upon leaving the vessel.
