C.110 VOLT A.C. SHOREPOWER SYSTEM CONT'D,
6.1-2
The line voltage will vary with the number of appliances operating
on the same circuit. In large marinas there may be a large number
of boats on the same circuit, causing fluctuations.
CAUTION: Operation of AC motors with less than 90 volts is
likely to result in damage to the motors.
D. AC Normal/AC Reverse: The AC panel has a red light to show when the
polarity is reversed. Care should be taken not to operate 110 AC
systems on board with reversed polarity. Notify dockmaster of this
problem so the shore plug can be repaired.
NOTE: Even though the switches are in the appropriate position,
the shore power system in no way assures safety of
personnel using electrical apparatus.
E. Water Heaters Supplies power to the water heater 110 AC element for
hot water while dockside. Note the cautions regarding the use of
electrical power to heat water are contained in the plumbing section
of this manual.
F. Outlet: Supplies power to the outlets placed throughout the cabin.
CAUTION: These precautions should be taken to avoid shock and
fire hazards:
1. Turn off the boat's shore connections switch before
connecting or disconnecting shore cable.
2. Connect shore-power cable to the boat first.
3. Disconnect shore-power cable at shore-outlet first.
