Galvanic Isolator; Battery Charger - Quicksilver 810 Arvor Owner's Manual

Quicksilver 810 Arvor — Electrical Systems
Turning Off and Disconnecting Shore Power
To disconnect shore power:
On the Boat
1. Make sure that the all of the breakers on the AC Distribution Panel are OFF
On the Dock
1. Turn OFF the dock breaker.
2. Disconnect the dockside end of the power cord.
On the Boat
1. Disconnect the power cord from the shore power receptacle.
2. Clean the power cord, spray the plugs with a moisture repellent and store the cord in a dry
location on the boat.
You must keep the shore power cord and plug ends clean and dry. This is especially necessary if your
boat is used in salt water. Always clean and spray your cord ends with moisture repellent before using
and before storing the cord.
Do not allow shore power cable end to hang in water. An
electrical field can result which can cause injury or death to
nearby swimmers.

7. Galvanic Isolator

The AC system is equipped with a galvanic isolator, which blocks low voltage DC on the shore power
ground wire.
The galvanic isolator prevents dockside voltages from damaging metal parts on the boat that come in
contact with the water. The galvanic isolator will also safely conduct high currents to ground in the
event of a short circuit or power leakage on your boat. Refer to the manufacturer's manual in your
owners manual packet for complete instructions and warranty on the galvanic isolator.

8. Battery Charger

When turned ON, the battery charger automatically increases current output when there is a drop in
battery voltage. All batteries, including the bow thruster battery, are connected to the battery
charger. When the batteries are charged, the unit maintains a small current flow to keep the batteries
fully charged and ready for service without overcharging.
Under normal conditions, the zincs on the boat should last
at least one year, if not more. If abnormal deterioration of
the zincs occur, a problem exists within the system, and
should be corrected immediately.
To minimize shock and fire hazards turn off craft's shore
power connection switch before connecting or
disconnecting shore power cable, connect shore power
cable to craft's inlet before connecting to shore power
source, disconnect shore power cable at shore power first,
and close shore power inlet cover tightly.
