Your
AC
systems
are
rated
for
125 volts
at
60
cycles. Source
current
can
be provided from a 110 volt, 60 cycle shore power station,
or
from
the
onboard
generator.
The
AC system in your boat
is
much like the system
in
your
home
.
The
hot
wire (usually black) senels
current
to the
AC
sys-
tem.
The
neutral wire (always white) sends
current
back to
the
source,
and
the
ground
wire (always
green)
grounds
all
systems to a
common
ground
.
In
your
boat
the
common
ground
is
the
copper
bonding
strip
located
in

AC
MASTER
PANEL
The
AC
master
panel consists
of
a voltmeter, a
power
transfer slide pro-
tector, and
generator
controls.
TJu m<ln'is an
important
feature, because they allow you to
monitor
the
AC voltage. Damage to
components
can occur
if
voltage
entering
your
system
is
less then 105 volts.
Do
not
use any
of
your AC systems if you get
a reading
of
105
volts
or
less.

TJu circuit breaken' function
is
twofold; they allow you
to
manually
