2013 World Cat 320EC Owners Manual

• Connect the cordset to the boat first, by plugging it into the receptacle and tightening the trim ring.
• Once these steps are completed, attach the cordset to the outlet supplied by the marina.

1.1.1.6.DisConnecting Shore Power

To disconnect the shore power cordset, reverse the procedure above. Turn the “AC Main” breaker and all
accessory breakers to the “OFF” position. Unplug the cordset from the marina supplied outlet, then unscrew the
trim ring and remove the cordset from boat’s inlet.

10.1.10 AC Panel

The AC distribution panel is installed in the starboard deckwing above the entrance to the aft berth. This panel houses
the circuit breakers for the AC system and its accessories. The panel also contains a reverse polarity indicator. Reverse
polarity occurs when the AC power lead (black) and the AC grounded lead (white) are reversed. This can destroy
appliances and create the potential for electric shock. Therefore, after attaching the shore power, turn the “AC MAIN”
breaker “ON” first and inspect the reverse polarity indicator. If the LED indicator remains unlit, you can engage the
remaining accessory breakers. If the indicator light turns red, immediately turn “OFF” the “AC MAIN” breaker and
disconnect the shore power. Notify the marina regarding the issue and have a trained electrician inspect your boat to
determine if any damage has been sustained by the electrical system.

10.1.11 Refrigerator

An AC/DC refrigerator is installed in the upper galley cabinet. The refrigerator is similar to any dorm style unit,
except it can operate from both the AC and DC systems. The unit is hard wired to the AC panel and will
automatically uses AC current if it is available, but can operate off battery power while the “HOUSE” battery switch
is in the “ON” position.

10.1.12 Microwave

The microwave is installed in the upper galley cabinet. It operates exactly like a residential unit, and functions only
when you are connected to ship or shore power.

10.1.13 Receptacles

Five receptacles are standard on the 320 EC, one in the cockpit, one at the galley, one in the shower compartment,
and two in the foward cabin. The cockpit outlet, port berth outlet, and galley outlet are Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupters (GFCI), which are designed to trip the circuit when the resistance along the grounded conductor falls
beneath 25000 Ohms. This protects you from electric shock, by stopping the current flow through the receptacle. The
head and starboard berth outlets are wired in series with the port berth and galley outlet respectively, to provide fault
protection for these as well.

10.1.14 Stove

A single burner electric stove is provided at the galley. Operation is similar to any residental cooktop.

10.1.15 Water Heater

A six gallon water heater is installed in the equipment compartment aft of the head. Temperature is controlled using a
thermostat similar to residential water heaters and hot water is provided to the galley and shower faucets.
