Re: [Electric Boats] Shore power

 

I followed e-11 recommendations and bonded everything to a common ground point and used a shaft brush to get a good earth ground.


If you are insane enough to try and float your AC side at least buy an isolation transformer so you don't kill near by swimmers

Hello Everyone,

I'm putting s proper shore power system in my boat, which should make life easier and safer! I read an article from Don Casey about installing shore power systems, and he says to connect the green ground to the engine block. I no longer have an engine block, so that option does not exist. Both the 48v and 12v DC systems are floating, and I was going to make the 120v AC system the same. My prop shaft is also electrically isolated. I was curious as to how others handled this. Thanks to everyone in advance!
