circuit consist of two of MAIN circuit breakers which
allow power to flow to the air conditioner. Both breakers
must be in the ON position for air conditioner operation
when using dockside power. Dual Dockside is installed
on the 378 which allows independent power to be sup-
plied to the air  conditioner.  Refer to Section  L-4 - Air
Conditioning in this manual for more information.
Under proper operating conditions, the reverse polarity
indicator light will not be on. Agreen light is provided for
the shore power and will be ON when dockside power is
connected.
Most receptacle circuits are capable of handling 15 am-
peres.  Refer to Table I  for a list of equipment and the
electricalcurrentsusuallyrequiredtooperatetheseitems.
For 220 volt, 50 Hertz models, divide all of  the current
ratings below by 2.  Usually,  the power requirement is
specified on  the electrical  item.   This is  only an  ap-
proximation of the electric current usage normally experi-
enced.
NOTICE
Some marina shore power systems may be im-
properlygroundedtoretardelectrolysis(seeSec-
tion H-9 - Stray Current Corrosion). Before us-
ing any 120 volt equipment, make sure the re-
verse polarity light does not activate when con-
necting the cord to the inlet.

The ground fault current interrupter (GFCI) is a device
which protects against hazardous electrical shock from
improper ground. An appliance electrical cord with worn
insulation or damp equipment  may have stray current
which will run through electrical grounds. Stray current
as above will result in an electrical shock.
