7 - ELECTRIC SYSTEM 210
To perform maintenance on the power supply from shore:
• In a marine environment, all exposed metallic segments of cables and
ducts, must be cleaned periodically with fresh water, while the shore
power supply is not in use. Dry and spray with an anti-humidity product.
• Periodically apply a vinyl protector on the cable cover.
DANGER
Do not leave shore power supply connected if nobody is on board.
WARNING
Do not allow that cable end of shore power supply to oats in the water.
This can cause an electric eld and following injuries or even the death of
the swimmers nearby.
MAINTENANCE
At least once a month check the status of the outer sheath.
At least once a month check the status of the electric contacts and even-
tually protect them with proper products.
At least once a month check the status of the shore socket and eventually
clean it.
CAUTION
Disconnect the shore power supply connections when the system is not
in use.
CAUTION
Do not modify connectors of shore power supply cable, use only plug
compatible connectors. If the yacht power supply cable cannot be plugged
into the shore socket, ask the Port Authority for an adapter.
CAUTION
To cut the electric power supply from shore:
• Set to off the magneto-thermal switch relevant to the shore socket in
use inside the steering gear compartment;
• Place to off the button on the main electrical panel;
• Set to off the protection on shore column;
• First disconnect the power supply cable from the shore power supply
source (shore column), then from the services.
CAUTION
If the warning lights on the synoptic panel and on the shoreside electrical
panel are lit, this means that the electric socket for shore power supply is
plugged.
It occurs very often to nd shore plugs with dimensions not compatible with
those on the ship; in this case it is necessary to address to the Port Authority
and to get a new plug or an adapter.
Follow the opposite procedure to disconnect shore electric power supply.
