TYPICAL MAIN AC PANEL METER/SWITCH FUNCTIONS
The typical main AC 120 volt control panel is located at
the starboard
aft salon. Lift the overhead cabinet door to
gain access to the panel. The main call outs on the panel
will be addressed. This panel serves as the main distri-
bution for the incoming shore power from the marina
power center or from the ship’s generator when at cruise.
The ship’s main DC panel is located along side of the AC
panel. Information on the DC panel is found earlier in
this chapter.
SHOREPOWER PANEL DISTRIBUTION
As noted earlier the shore power cord delivers AC elec-
tricity through the boat’s shore power inlet. The AC cur-
rent travels through the vessel’s electrical system to the
main AC 120 volt control panel. The AC electricity is now
ready to be distributed to the various equipment compo-
nents.
