It is designed for 230 AC voltage (UK Power) and will detect and break a circuit very quickly if current leakage or imbalance is detected in the shore power system.ĪSAP Electrical shore power plugs are also available. From 6kW to 500kW ANG SHORE POWER CONVERTERS allow your boat to plug in at any dock all over the world, regardless of the frequency, the voltage and the form provided by the Marina. We also offer the WhisperPower RCD Circuit breaker, which is perfect for protecting your electrical system against electric current imbalance and for preventing electric shocks. Connect to ports across the globe and avoid damage to expensive onboard electronics from incompatible voltage and frequency. It is made from waterproof materials and offers protection against the elements to your electrical system. European shore power generally runs at 230 volts and 50Hz frequency with. For extra protection we also provide a plug cover, for use when your boat is not at shore. What are the electrical questions to ask when importing a boat from Europe to. Stabilize operating frequency, suppress fast transient events, isolate from voltage variations, and protect against galvanic. The construction and design of the plug ensures that it is protected against water to prevent any potential hazards. They bring in the foreign AC shore power, convert it to DC, and then invert it back to AC at the specific voltage and frequency required by the boats. Our blue polycarbonate plug features a cable locking system and silver plated brass contacts, which can accept a draw of 30 amps on both 110V and 240V systems. These are protected to IP44 or IP56 and use standard CEE 3 pole plugs.ĪSAP Electrical shore power plugs are also available from stock.

We stock shore power cables from ASAP Electrical and WhisperPower available in 10, 15 and 25 metre lengths.

Weaving their way through an already crowded bilge, protected by high impact conduits and penetrating two watertight bulkheads with Roxtec transits - these large cables were a struggle to install but we got there in the end. The increased capacity meant new supply cables from the aft lazarette and the main switchboard in the engine room needed to be installed. This was a game-changer meaning the project was viable, as other units did not fit without major re-arrangement of the toys already filling the lazarette. Needing new mains cabling through the boat, temporary dockside transformer, and some heavy lifting, all in a short time frame required a can-do attitude from. The principles at Asea solved the problem by taking one of their standard single cabinet converters and cutting it in half, separating the transformer and HF power modules into discrete cabinets connected with factory fitted wiring harness's. Starting at the dock end you will need a new shore power cord for 120 volt 30 amps and you will need a new Deck Inlet on board the boat to connect it to.

The existing transformer was relatively compact, creating a challenge fitting a full frequency converter in its place. With other works in progress taking the generators out of action, temporary shore power and a hired dockside transformer were needed to keep everything running while we removed the old transformer, had new mounting brackets made and lifted the new Asea modular converter into place. Secondly this yacht wanted to stretch her legs, sailing to places like French Polyenisia and the States where 60Hz dock power is not compatible with her 50Hz electrical systems. Two things were the catalyst for this job: Firstly the old transformer had aged and internally rusted resulting in the transformer humming loudly - it being fitted to the bulkhead right by the owners bed head. Jamestown Distributors offers a complete selection of Shore Power cables, adapters and connectors manufactured by industry leaders Marinco and Hubbell.
