Monarch SE 2004-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Section 8 Electrical System | 283
WARNING: Keep fingers away from metal contacts of the shore
plug end. Avoid standing in water when making electrical
connections. Serious electrical shock and personal injury can
occur. To avoid the risk of an electrical shock, turn the circuit
breaker off for the power supply outlet before making the shore
power connection.
CAUTION: Do not remove cover from shore power supply to
troubleshoot electricity to the motorhome. Serious personal
injury or death may occur. If there is no power to the
motorhome inform the park manager. It is the park manager’s
responsibility to fix any problems with the park’s shore hook up.
Shore Power Supply:
Different amperage shore power supplies vary greatly in the amount of
available current.
• The continuous amount of current through a breaker or fuse is only
80% of its rated capacity.
• 50 Amp 240 Volt AC shore power service consists of two power
supply conductors, a neutral and a safety ground. The 50 Amp breaker
simultaneously limits each power supply conductor to no more than a
short-term maximum of 50 Amps for each conductor. The 50 Amp
240 Volt service actually provides 80 continuous amps.
• Use care when hooked to anything less than 50 Amp shore service.
Shore power service less than 50 Amps consists of one power supply
conductor, a neutral and a safety ground. 30 Amp shore service is
limited to 24 continuous amps. 20 Amp shore service is limited to 16
continuous amps.
