Alterations or extensions
to the electrical system can cause elec-
trical shock or fi re. ONLY competent
marine electricians should make system
changes according to U.S. Coast Guard
regulations.
240 Volt AC
Electrical Distribution Panel
The AC electrical system is a three-wire
grounded system powered by either the
generator (if so equipped) or shore power.
There is a “ground fault interruption circuit”
(GFIC) that protects all outlets. This sys-
tem prevents accidental electrical shock. If
power is lost to an outlet, reset the breaker
switch at the GFIC outlet.
If you are unable to reset
the GFIC breaker switch, contact your
Silverton dealer or a competent marine
electrician for inspection and repair.
Failure to do so may result in a fi re or
damage to the electrical system.
The AC electrical system is supplied with
240 volts of power upon entry to the main
electrical distribution panel, which then is
separated into two (2) legs of 120 volts
each.
The following breaker switches and their
function are described below in the order
in which they appear on the main electrical
distribution panel:
AC Amperage Gauge: Displays amperage
draw on AC circuit.
Generator Start/Stop Switch: Starts and
stops the generator.
AC Volt Gauge: Displays voltage draw on
AC circuit.
Line 1/Line 2 Amperage Switch: Allows
amperage gauge to display draw on either
Line 1 or Line 2 as selected.
NOTE: Line 1 is considered the left side of
the AC Electrical Panel. Line 2 is considered
the right side of the AC Electrical Panel.
Generator Blower: Supplies power to the
generator compartment ventilation blower
motor.
Line 1/Line 2 Volt Switch: Allows volt
gauge to display draw on either Line 1 or
Line 2 as selected.
Shore Power (3 Switches): Supplies the
AC Electrical Panel with power from a dock-
side source.
Generator (3 Switches): Supplies the AC
Electrical Panel with power from the gen-
erator.
Converter: Supplies power to the converter,
which converts DC power to AC power.
Refrigerator: Supplies AC power to the
refrigerator.
Forward Outlets: Supplies power to the
outlets in the forward cabin and forward
head.
Mid Outlets: Supplies power to the outlets
in the salon and galley.
Aft Outlets: Supplies power to the outlets
in the aft stateroom and aft head.
Exterior Outlets: Supplies power to the
outlets found on the exterior area of the
yacht.
