110 Volt Ac Equipment; Reverse Polarity - Four winns FREEDOM Owner's Manual

NOTICE
Always disconnect the shore power cord from
the dockside first before disconnecting from the
boat.
B. 110 Volt AC Equipment
All 12 volt equipment is isolated from the 110 volt AC
system (except the refrigerator which is dual voltage).
Appropriately labeled circuit breakers protect all AC sys-
tems on the boat. The receptacles can be used for 110
volt (220 volts on 50 Hertz models) household appli-
ances. Refer to the following list for information on ap-
pliances and other equipment.
Battery Charger - On models with battery charger, the
battery charger is controlled by a circuit breaker on the
AC electrical panel and is labeled CHARGER/REFRIG-
ERATOR. The circuit breaker must be on the "ON"
position in order for the charger to charge the batteries
when connected to shore power.
Refrigerator - The CHARGER/REFRIGERATOR circuit
breaker must be on to operate on 110 voltage. If this
breaker is off, the refrigerator will automatically operate
on the 12 volt system. This can deplete the battery.
Excessive drain on the battery may cause irreparable
battery damage. The refrigerator will automatically op-
erate on 110 volts when provided (with the circuit breaker
in the ON position). Please refer to manufacturer's op-
erating instructions included with the owner's packet.
Receptacles - The OUTLETS circuit breaker must be
switched to the "ON" position to supply power for the
corresponding receptacles in the AC system. (For those
models with the receptacles built into the AC panel,
power is supplied to the receptacles when shore power
is provided.)
Most receptacle circuits are capable of handling 15 am-
peres. Refer to Table III for a list of equipment and the
electrical currents usually required to operate these
items. For 220 volt, 50 Hertz models, divide all of the
current ratings below by 2. Usually, the power require-
ment is specified on the electrical item. This is only an
approximation of the electric current usage normally
experienced.

C. Reverse Polarity Indicator
Improper grounds or reversed polarity at shore power
are a source of serious electrical hazard. The reverse
polarity light will indicate if a problem exists at the 110
AC electrical system shore connection.
If a problem exists, the Reverse Polarity Indicator Light
will come on when the shore power cable is attached to
the inlet. DO NOT activate the shore power breaker
switch in the cabin when the Reverse Polarity light is
on.
ALWAYS check the Reverse Polarity Indicator
Light in the AC distribution panel immediately
upon connecting the shore power cord before
turning on the AC SHORE POWER circuit bre-
aker. If the light is on, a problem with a reversed
electrical connection exists. Disconnect the
shore power cord immediately. Notify the mari-
na and have the dock's shore power connec-
tion inspected.
Under proper operating conditions, the Reverse Polar-
ity Indicator Light will not be on. A green light is pro-
vided for the shore power and will be ON when dockside
power is being used.
