Power Supply Components - Hunter 50CC Operation Manual

The AC System consists of the following systems or
components:
• Shore Power Connection
• Shore Power Breaker
• Isolation Transformer
• Generator (Optional)
• MDP

specialized test equipment. Never think you know
whether a circuit is "live". Always have qualified,
competent professionals inspect or make repairs to
your electrical systems.
Throughout this section, the components will be sepa-
rated into categories of Power Supply and related com-
ponents such as switches, breakers, fuses, panels, char-
gers, grounding and bonding, the components that are
powered by the AC electrical system, and finally, opera-
tions and suggestions for control or usage of the systems
or components. At the end of the section, you will find a
"Legends" section that will detail the switch, breaker, and
control panels aboard your boat.
The sources for power supply in your AC electric system
are the shore power, the generator, and AC electric sup-
plied through the inverter. We will explain both systems
as if your boat came to you with a generator installed. If
you opted not to have the generator, then simply omit the
sections that deal with that part of the boat. They will not
apply to your boat.
Note: It is important that you review the "Electric Shock" pam-
phlet included with your manual and understand the importance
of electrical safety. While electricity is one of our greatest
friends, it can well be your worst enemy. Be sure and follow
the warnings posted in this manual and your component or
systems manuals in your owner's packet and practice good
safety. Always have trained, competent technicians to service
your electrical systems, it could mean your life.

8.1 Power Supply Components

As we mentioned, the two main sources for AC power are
the shore power and the generator. There is a breaker
switch on the control panel that allows you to switch
between the two power sources without energizing both
at once.
The branch breakers are in the MDP located port main
salon behind aft seatback.
