aker. If the light is on, a problem with a reversed
electrical connection exists. Disconnect the
shore power cord immediately. Notify the mari-
na and have the dock’s shore power connec-
tion inspected.
Receptacles - The OUTLETS circuit breaker must be
switched to the “ON” position to supply power for the
corresponding receptaclesin theAC system. (For those
models with the receptacles built into the AC panel,
power is supplied to the receptacles when shore power
is provided.)
Most receptacle circuits are capable of handling 15 am-
peres. Refer to Table III for a list of equipment and the
electrical currents usually required to operate these
items. For 220 volt, 50 Hertz models, divide all of the
current ratings below by 2. Usually, the power require-
ment is specified on the electrical item. This is only an
approximation of the electric current usage normally
experienced.
Under proper operating conditions, the Reverse Polar-
ity Indicator Light will not be on. A green light is pro-
vided for the shore power and will be ON when dockside
power is being used.
NOTICE
Some marina shore power systems may be im-
properly grounded to retard electrolysis (see
Section H-7 Stray Current Corrosion). Before
using any 110 volt equipment, make sure the

D. Ground Fault Current Interrupters (GFCI)
The Ground Fault Current Interrupter (GFCI) is a de-
vice which protects against hazardous electrical shock
from improper ground. An appliance electrical cord with
worn insulation or damp equipment may have stray cur-
rent which will run through electrical grounds. Stray cur-
rent as above will result in an electrical shock.

One GFCI receptacle will protect all of the receptacles
on the circuit. A GFCI may be used as a receptacle as
well as an interrupter.
