carrying conductor. The white or neutral wire is the
grounded current carrying conductor. The green wire,
referred to as the “equipment ground,” is a grounded
conductor, and under normal conditions is not a
current carrying wire. The neutral wires are connected
together at a buss bar. The equipment grounds are
similarly connected together at another buss bar.
Each hot wire is connected to, and protected by, a
circuit breaker in the distribution box located at the AC
power panel assembly in the Day-berth identified
H - 9 DOCKSIDE OPERATION
If any abnormalities appear during dockside
operation, DISCONNECT the system immedi-
ately to prevent electric shock hazards! Have
the boat’s electrical system and the shoreside
receptacles checked as soon as possible.
“120V AC 60HZ”. See Figure H8.
A. Shore Power Connections
To prevent electric shock hazards, use only
equipment with approved three wire electrical
plug connections. Be sure each item being
used has been tested and is free of electrical
shorts and ground faults.
Fifty foot, ten gauge, three-wire, shore power cords
are provided with dockside wiring. The shore power
cords on 60 Hertz systems have 30 amp twistlock-
type connectors. They have a power ”ON” indicator
light to ease in connecting and troubleshooting. This
connector complies with the American Boat and Yacht
Council (ABYC) standards.
Figure H8: AC Power Panel
The optional dockside system has a main circuit
breaker which protects the overall distribution network.
The MAIN dockside inlet is located at the port tran-
som. The MAIN breakers on the AC panel along with
the MAIN breakers at the transom must be turned
“ON” and the boat must be connected either to shore
power or generator operation for AC system opera-
tion. The MAIN circuit breakers protects both the hot
and neutral input leads. This breaker is sensitive. The
resulting power surge which occurs when connecting
the shore power cord may cause the MAIN breakers
to trip. To avoid this power spike, turn off the MAIN
breakers before plugging in the shore power cord.
Securely connect the power inlet of the boat and the
shore power receptacle. Once the shore power is
securely connected, turn the MAIN breakers back on.
If the connection is broken and later re-secured, the
circuit breaker may trip. Connections must be secure
for uninterrupted dockside service.
Some marinas are not equipped with approved
twistlock-type receptacles. An adaptor is available
from Four Winns which converts the twist-lock shore
plug to a three-wire grounded household type plug.
Use only an approved adaptor when an adaptor is
necessary.
DO NOT use a two-wire adaptor to connect to
a three-wire system. These adaptors do not
provide adequate grounding.
Shore power connection procedure is as follows:
1.
Turn off the boat’s main breaker switches before
connecting or disconnecting the shore power
cable.
The AC voltage for the generator or shore power AC
system may be monitored with the AC voltmeter in the
AC panel.
2.
Connect shore power cable to the dockside inlet
receptacle of the boat first, then connect it to
dockside shore power outlet.
