Safety with 230 V on board
The optional 230 V system is fitted with an earth leak switch (residual
current circuit breaker) and a number of combined switches and overload
circuit breakers for the different outlets. The GFCI switch is a safety device
preventing accidents with electric shock if an electric lead should be touched.
If it is triggered off all outlets will be dead. Try to re-engage by lifting the
toggle switch after first breaking each of the circuit breakers.
To minimise the risk of shock or fire:
• Connect the shore connection cable first on board before it’s connected to the shore outlet.
• Disconnect the shore cable first at the shore outlet before disconnecting on board. Close the cap
carefully.
• Do not change the plug on the shore connection cable, use proper adapters to fit different
shore outlets.
Remember:
If there is no earth breaker ashore, you are not protected against electrical chock on the way from
the boat to shore.
The GFCI switch is so sensitive that rain or a damp connection
can trigger it.
Do not work on energized AC system
.
There is a risk of swimming close to a craft connected to shore power.
