AC POWER DISTRIBUTION – SHORE 1, SHORE 2, AND GENERATOR
The AC power distribution switches on the AC/DC panel permit you to operate your AC
accessories by either shore power via the shore 1 circuit or the shore 2 circuit or by generator
power. Each shore circuit is a 120 volt A.C. 60 hertz circuit designed to support a load of 30 amps.
When the shore 1 distribution switch is engaged, power is supplied to load group 1. Likewise,
when the shore 2 distribution switch is engaged, power is supplied to load group 2. When
operating from generator power, engaging the generator distribution switch supplies power to
load group 1 — the switch configuration will not permit the shore 1 and generator switches to be
engaged at the same time. Engaging the transfer switch allows both load groups to receive power
from either shore 1 or the generator — the switch configuration will not permit the shore 2 and
transfer switches to be engaged at the same time.
Using Separate Shore 1 and Shore 2 Shore Connections
To use separate shore connections, first ensure shore 1 and shore 2 are connected to shore
power sources. See “Connecting The Dockside Power” on page 8–11 for instructions on how
to connect to shore power. When connected to separate shore 1 and shore 2 power sources,
engage the shore 1 and shore 2 distribution switches to provide power to each load group. Use
the toggle switch beneath the A.C. voltmeter to monitor the voltage being supplied to each
circuit. Use the two amp meters on the panel to manage the load on each circuit; the amp
readings should not exceed 30 amps on either meter.
Using One Shore Connection Only
To use one shore connection only, ensure the shore 1 circuit is connected to shore power. See
“Connecting The Dockside Power” on page 8–11 for instructions on how to connect to shore
power. With the shore 1 distribution switch engaged, power is supplied to load group 1. Set
the toggle switch beneath the A.C. voltmeter to monitor the voltage being supplied to load
group 1. Use the load group 1 amp meter on the panel to manage the load; the amp reading
should not exceed 30 amps.
Accessories on load group 2 can receive power from the shore 1 connection by engaging the
transfer switch. When both load group 1 and load group 2 are being powered the by shore 1
connection, the amp readings on each amperage meter must be added together to properly
manage the load. The sum of the two amperage readings should not exceed 30 amps.
Using Generator Power Only
To use the generator power only, ensure the generator is operating. For more information
about the generator, see “Generator” on page 8–11. With only the generator distribution
switch engaged, power is supplied to load group 1. Set the toggle switch beneath the A.C.
voltmeter to monitor the voltage being supplied to load group 1. Use the load group 1 amp
meter on the panel to manage the load; the amp reading should not exceed 70 amps.
Accessories on load group 2 can receive power from the generator by engaging the transfer
switch. When both load group 1 and load group 2 are being powered by the generator, the amp
readings on each amperage meter must be added together to properly manage the load. The
sum of the two amperage readings should not exceed 70 amps.
