If a generator is being used, make sure:
• The generator is operating properly.
• The safety circuit breaker is ON, located on the generator control center.
If shore power is used, make sure:
• The shore power cord is properly attached to both the boat and the shore power source.
• The circuit breaker at the shore power source box is ON.
• The AC main circuit breaker group is ON.
If the voltmeter continues to read zero voltage, do one of the following:
• Have a qualied technician service your generator.
• Contact the marina’s management to identify and correct a shore power problem.
• If the problem appears to be with your boat’s AC electrical system, have the system inspected by a qualied electrician.
AMMETER – LOAD CURRENT
The ammeter indicates the amount of current being drawn by the AC electrical equipment.
The ammeter should read zero amps when the following items occur:
• Either the MAIN or GENERATOR circuit breaker group is ON and all other breakers on the AC control center are OFF.
• There is no power being consumed onboard the vessel.
The ammeter readings increase above zero amps:
• As the circuit breakers, located on the AC control center, are switched ON and the associated equipment is turned ON.
• As the equipment plugged into the AC receptacles is turned ON. See ELECTRICAL LOADS on page 57 for information on
the AC electrical system load limits.
