Always consider the following:

1 If shore power is connected it must always be

ground protected ashore, never in the boat. Fur-

thermore, the shore power installation should be

equipped with a ground fault interrupter.

The shore power installation (transformer, inverter,

battery charger etc.) must be designed for marine

use where the high-tension side is galvanically

separated from the low-tension side.

2 Electrical cables must be run and clamped such

that there is no risk of exposure to chafing, damp or

bilge water.

3 Ground protection for radios, navigation instru-

ments, rudder, boarding ladders or other equipment

where separate cables for ground protection are

present, must be clustered to a common ground

connection that is not connected to the engine or

reverser gear.

IMPORTANT!

The engine and reverse gear must never be used

as earth planes.

4 The start battery must have a main switch (1) con-

nected to the battery's plus (+) side. The main

switch must break the circuit to all equipment and

be switched off when the boat is not in use.

5 If an auxiliary battery is used a main switch must be

placed between the auxiliary battery's plus (+) ter-

minal and the circuit breaker panel for the boat's

electrical equipment. The main switch must break

the circuit to all equipment connected to the auxili-

ary battery and must be switched off when power is

no longer required. All equipment connected to the

auxiliary battery must have separate main

switches.

For simultaneous charging of two independent battery

circuits a separate charging distributor (accessory)

should be installed on the standard alternator.
