50 AMP SYSTEM
Your RV may be equipped with a 50 amp 120-volt 60hz AC electrical system. The
entire system is designed to operate on 2 legs of 120-volt power at a maximum
current flow of 50 amperes per leg. Exposure to voltages higher or lower than a
nominal 120-volts will damage or shorten the service life of the electrical system
and appliances. The 50 amp 120-volt 60hz AC electrical system can be powered
by the 120-volt 60hz utilities found in RV campgrounds or by 120-volt 60hz
generator power.
50 AMP POWER CORD
The power cord is also commonly referred to as the “shore power cord.” This
power cord is designed to ground the RV electrical system through the external
power source receptacle. It is also designed to carry the voltage and current
output from campground power receptacles.
Occasionally the electrical service provided by a campground may experience low
or high voltage (i.e., surges or spikes). Any prolonged exposure will shorten the
life of the electrical system and appliances. Consult your dealer for
recommendations on power surge protection.
WARNING
Make very certain the external power source (50 amp systems only) you
connect the power cord to is a 50 amp NEMA 14-50 RV receptacle and not
240 volt AC.
WARNING
PLUG INTO 50-AMP SERVICE ONLY.
WARNING
The power cord must be fully extended when in use and not left coiled in the
electrical compartment or on the ground. If the power cord is left coiled, it may
potentially create enough heat to melt its protective casing.
WARNING
Plugging the shoreline power cord into an incorrectly wired power source
could damage the RV electrical system and result in severe or fatal injury.
