Electrical System Overview
This section provides a basic overview of both the AC and DC systems. Individual systems are discussed
in their respective section.
There are numerous circuit breakers in the system to prevent an electrical overload and protect the equipment
from damage.
There are two main panels that control electrical load:
♦ The DC Battery Switch Panel
♦ The Salon Main Circuit Breaker Panel
The DC Battery Switch Panel (Figure 3-27) controls power to the DC systems. Each master red switch
engages or disengages a specific battery. The small breaker switches energizes and protects specific circuits
and components attached to this panel. Some components are constantly powered ON, while others require the
appropriate red master switch to be turned ON.
Leave ALL breakers ON at all times. Use the switches to turn systems ON or OFF.
The salon Main Circuit Breaker Panel (Figure 3-31) is located in the cabin of the boat and provides circuit
breakers to protect both AC and DC powered systems. The panel receives power from three sources:
♦ The generator
♦ The DC Battery Switch Panel
♦ Shore Power Chords
