STANDARD 3 POLE INLET BREAKER
Installed inside the port aft locker as standard equipment
is a single throw 3 pole inlet breaker. This breaker when
activated with the dockside cord installed in the inlet per-
mits AC current a path to the ship's main distribution
panel. This path terminates at the panel main AC break-
ers. Once the panel main breakers are activated current
can fl ow downstream to each of the component breakers.
Before disconnecting the dockside cord make sure the
main ship's panel AC breakers are turned off.
Also, when connecting the dockside cord ensure the
main ship's AC breakers are off until all components are
installed.
Remember to plug the power cord into the marina dock
power box last. This reduces the possibility of a shock
hazard. There may be several types of inlet plugs located
at the marina dock power center. The 30 amp plug is much
smaller looking and the 50 amp cord will not physically
fi t it.
Also, marina dock power centers have breakers that must
be activated after installing the dockside cord. Make sure
the dockside cord has enough slack to weather changing
tides if applicable and at the same time does not come in
contact with the water. Check with the marina dockmaster
for more information on their shore power operation and
requirements.
Before attempting to disconnect the shore power cord
turn off all equipment and main AC breakers on the ship's
control panel and shore power inlet breaker (3 pole) to
prevent any component damage.
When disconnecting the shore power cord fi rst turn the
breaker to the "off " position at the marina dock power
center. Then remove the dockside cord from the marina
outlet. Always remove the cord from the yacht's power inlet
last. Roll the cord neatly and store it in a dry environment.
