(GFCI) RECEPTACLE. SEEK IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION AFTER RECEIVING AN ELECTRICAL SHOCK. CONTACT A
QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN TO MAKE APPROPRIATE REPAIRS.
Reset
Test
1. Press the TEST button. If operating normally, it cuts the electricity to the receptacle on the GFCI.
2. Plug a lamp or other AC-powered device into the receptacle, and turn ON the device. The device should NOT
operate.
3. Press the TEST button. Never use the receptacle if the receptacle still has power. Contact a qualied electrician to
make the appropriate repairs.
4. Reset the GFCI to restore power to the receptacle.
ELECTRICAL LOADS
WARNING
NEVER OVERLOAD THE ELECTRICAL CIRCUITS. TURN OFF ALL DEVICES CONNECTED TO THE CIRCUIT, AND THEN
SWITCH THE BREAKER BACK ON IF AN EXCESSIVE LOAD TRIPS A CIRCUIT BREAKER.
Be aware that each device exerts a “load” on the system when operating AC-powered devices through the AC electrical
system. The electrical load is equal to the amount of current (amps) that the device draws from the AC electrical system.
The AC electrical system is designed with a maximum total load that the device can handle. Each LINE circuit has an
electrical load capacity of 30 amps or 50 amps depending on purchased conguration.
The MAIN circuit breaker on the AC control center will trip if the total load on the circuit exceeds the circuit’s capacity;
it will trip if the devices operating from the circuit are drawing too much current. The AC control center is located in the
galley on cabinet end at the companionway. See the illustrations in AC Electrical System on page 41 for panel location.
A list of common AC-powered devices and the approximate maximum current that the devices draw while operating is
shown in the following chart if an AC-powered device is used that has an electric motor, such as a vacuum cleaner or
electric drill, the device should have a “motor load plate” mounted on it. The motor load plate lists the current that the
device draws while operating.
