DANGER
The transformers installed on board separate galvanically the dock
electric system from the on board electric system.
During yacht onshore handing (lay-up) for maintenance, if you use one
or both shore plugs for the power supply of the on board 120 / 240 V AC
electric system, make sure that the yacht earthing is connected to the
shore column earthing, taking advantage of expert crew.
