Two AC MAIN circuit breaker locations are installed onboard:
• AC main circuit breaker groups (transom storage compartment) labeled depending on region:
– LINE 1/LINE 2 (50A 120V 60HZ)
– SHORE 1/SHORE 2 (30A 120V 60HZ or 30A 230V 50HZ)
• AC control center (galley, forward lower cabinet)
Electricity to the AC components can be controlled by switching the breakers from the AC control center ON or OFF. The
breakers also protect the electrical system by automatically disconnecting the circuit from the power source in the event of
a short or overload.
GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT INTERRUPTERS
Each AC receptacle is protected by a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI). The GFCI measures both the amount of
current owing to the circuit’s receptacles and the amount of current returning from the receptacles. The GFCI compares
the two values once measured. If the values are not the same, the GFCI instantly trips, and power is shut off to the
receptacles.
An electrical shock received through a standard receptacle will continue through a person’s body and ow into any
grounded object that the person is touching or standing on. The GFCI, however, will immediately shut off power to the
receptacle. Shutting off the power limits the time the person is being shocked to a brief moment, signicantly reducing
injury to the person.
GFCI RECEPTACLE LOCATIONS
Two GFCI receptacles are installed in the galley. Both receptacles protect a group of receptacles that can include both
open outlets and outlets already in use for built-in equipment. All outlets onboard are connected to a GFCI.
TESTING GFCI RECEPTACLES
GFCIs have TEST and RESET buttons located on the receptacles.
Switch the TEST button ON/OFF switch to ON to reset a GFCI that has tripped.
Press the RESET button to reset the GFCI after it has tripped. Resetting a GFCI allows electricity to ow again to the
receptacle.
Test each GFCI circuit once per week.
DANGER
NEVER USE A GFCI OR ANY RECEPTACLE ON A GFCI CIRCUIT IF POWER IS STILL AVAILABLE ON THAT CIRCUIT
AFTER THE TEST BUTTON HAS BEEN PRESSED. DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY CAN OCCUR BY RECEIVING AN
ELECTRICAL SHOCK FROM THE AC ELECTRICAL SYSTEM INCLUDING THE GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT INTERRUPTER
