AC Electrical System Maintenance
Periodically inspect all wiring for nicks, chang,
brittleness, improper support, etc. Examine the
shore power cord closely for cracks in the insula-
tion and corrosion in electrical connectors. Spray-
ing receptacles and electrical connections with an
electrical contact cleaner or a metal and electrical
protector will reduce corrosion and improve elec-
trical continuity.
Inspect all wiring for proper support, sound insula-
tion and tight terminals.
The entire AC circuitry, especially the shore power
cord, should be seasonally tested for proper conti-
nuity by an experienced electrician. This will detect
any shorts, open wires or ground faults.
CORROSION ALLOWED TO BUILD ON THE ELECTRICAL
CONNECTORS CAN CAUSE A POOR CONNECTION
RESULTING IN SHORTS, GROUND FAULTS OR POOR
GROUND CONNECTIONS. ELECTRICAL CONNECTORS
SHOULD BE CHECKED AT LEAST ANNUALLY AND CLEANED
AS REQUIRED. DO NOT ALLOW CORROSION TO BUILD ON
CONNECTIONS.
THE AC AND DC ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS ALWAYS SHOULD
BE DISCONNECTED FROM THE POWER SOURCE BEFORE
INSPECTING OR SERVICING THE SYSTEM. NEVER SERVICE
ANY COMPONENT OF AN ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WHILE IT
IS ENERGIZED.
