Generator - Regal 53 SC Owner's Manual

OVERVIEW
The diesel generator is used on board to provide alternating
current (AC) when the vessel is unplugged from the
dockside cord. Generator frequency known as hertz is
domestically set at 60 while overseas countries normally
require a setting of 50. As the generator reaches full rated
no load output (amps) at 60 hertz it should display 120
volts. At 50 hertz it should display 230 volts.
The generator is located in the port engine room. Some
basic system components are identifi ed below.
