10.13 SHORE ELECTRIC POWER SUPPLY
In order to power the electric system of the yacht, so as to operate the
various systems on board, two connections (1) for 220 V electric power
supply from shore have been arranged, each one equipped with circuit
breaker (2) protecting against overloads or short-circuits.
The connections are located on each side of the aft cockpit inside of a
suitable peak closed with a lid.
It occurs very often to find dock plugs with dimensions not compatible
with those on the ship; in this case it is necessary to address to the Port
Authority and to get a new plug or an adapter.
Each connection is provided with an electric cablemaster (Glendinning
220 V/50 A) (optional) installed in the engineroom, which allows an easy
recovery of the cable; it can be activated through the switch (3) near to
the cable outlet (see figure).
The cablemaster consists of hawse pipe and power unit. Within the
hawse pipe, a neoprene gasket/wiper prevents the entrance of water and
helps clean the cable as it is retracted into the boat. When the cable is
retracted completely into the boat, the shore cord cover activates the “in-
limit” switch, turning off the motor. The “out-limit” switch is located in the
guide and roller assembly. The nylon safety collar activates the “out-limit”
switch and serves as a mechanical stopping device, should the “out-limit”
switch fail.
