This sections describes AC wiring requirements and recommendations including cable sizing, flexible
cable, marine conductors, overcurrent devices, GFCI’s, hookup procedure, and neutral-to-ground
switching.
UL, ABYC and Federal Regulations define the standards for AC installation wiring in vessel
applications. Never use Romex ™ type single-strand cable. Use only multi-strand conductors of the
type listed in the following tables. Temperature ratings shown assume the routing of wires above
bilge water in locations protected from dripping and exposure to weather, spray, and oil.
