WARNING

] It is not possible within the scope of these instructions to fully acquaint

the installer with all the knowledge of electrical systems that may be

necessary to correctly install this product. If the installer is not

knowledgeable in electrical systems we strongly recommend that an

electrical professional be retained to make the installation.

] If either the panel front or back is to be exposed to water it must be

protected with a waterproof shield.

] The panels must not be installed in explosive environments such as

gasoline engine rooms or battery compartments as the circuit breakers

are not ignition proof.

] The vessel’s shore power cord must be disconnected form shore side

power before installing this electrical panel.

] If an inverter is installed on the vessel its power leads must be

disconnected at the battery before the panel installation. Be aware that

many inverters have a “sleep mode” in which their voltage potential

may not be detectable with measuring equipment.

] If an AC Generator is installed aboard it must be stopped and rendered

inoperable before the panel is installed.

] Verify that no other AC source is connected to the vessel’s wiring

before the panel is installed.

Installation

1. Disconnect all AC and DC power

Disconnect all AC power originating on or off the vessel. This includes

inverters, generators, shore power attachments and any other device

capable of supplying AC power to the ship’s circuits.

Disconnect the main positive DC cable from all batteries to eliminate

the possibility of a short circuit and to disable the inverter while

installing the distribution panel.

2. Select mounting location and cut opening

If this panel is to serve as your main shore power disconnect circuit

breaker, select a location which is not more than 10 feet from the shore

power inlet or the electrical attachment point of a permanently installed

shore power cord as measured along the conductors of the feed wires.

If it is more than 10 feet additional fuses or circuit breakers must be

installed within 10 feet of the shore power inlet.

Select a mounting location which is protected from water on the panel

front and back and is not in an area where ammable vapors from

propane, gasoline or lead acid batteries accumulate. The circuit

breakers used in marine electrical panels are not ignition protected and

may ignite such vapors.

Using the panel template provided, make a cut out in the mounting

surface where the distribution panel is to be mounted. Do not yet

fasten the panel to the mounting surface.

3. Install branch circuit wires

Determine the proper wire size for each branch circuit using the wire

sizing chart . Verify that the standard 15 amp circuit breakers installed

in the panel are correct for each branch circuit. Remove and replace

any that are incorrectly sized. The circuit breaker must have a rating

less than the allowable amperage of the wire, yet greater than the

circuit’s continuous current.

AC Main Power Distribution Panels

Connect each branch circuit hot (black) to the appropriate load terminal.

Connect each branch circuit neutral (white) to one of the screws on the

neutral bus. Connect each branch safety ground wire (green) to one of

the screws of the safety ground bus.

Do not confuse the neutral current carrying wires (sometimes called

ground) with the green normally non-current carrying wires (sometimes

called grounding). These two wires must be connected only at the

source of power, nowhere else.

Wire sizing chart

Use the wire sizing chart below to determine the proper branch and feed

circuit wire sizes.

ABYC E-11 Table VI-B 105˚ C ( 221˚ F) Wire

Note: This chart assumes wire with 105° C (221° F) insulation

rating and no more than 3 conductors are bundled.

Not suitable for sizing flexible shore power cords.

Blue Sea Systems recommends that the feeder wires from the

power inlet to the panel should be 10 AWG for 30A systems and

6 AWG for 50A systems.
