| A.C. Electrical System: Vessel is fitted with two (2) 240 volt AC. House shore power is fed through a 12KVA isolation transformer. The air conditioning may be operated from the house shore power or from its own dedicated shore power inlet which is equipped with a galvanic isolator. The air conditioning may be operated from either 50 Hz or 60 Hz current. Current is distributed through custom PAE electrical panels containing 240 volt AC and 120 volt AC sections, volt and amp meters and individual breakers for functions |
| Two (2) Outback # VFX3524 3.5 kW 24 volt battery charger/inverters with remote control panels. Inverters are installed in a "series/stack" configuration enabling the vessel to have 120 volt AC and 240 volt AC inverted power. Electrical panel is fitted with an inverter bypass switch in the event of failure |
| AC Outlets are standard US format in black 120 volt AC. Location shown on drawing |
| All outlets in head compartment and galley are GFCI type in black |
| All external outlets have water proof covers |
| Two (2) Glendinning shore power cord retrieval systems with barrels located in the transom. One (1) each for the 240 volt house shore power and air conditioning shore power. Each system to be provided with 85' (25.9 m) of useable shore power cable from the transom |
| Standard shore power inlets located on the port side of foredeck |
|
| D.C. Electrical System is provided by 24 volt DC and 12 volt DC systems. The primary DC system is 24 volts and the secondary system is 12 volts for any equipment that is only available in 12 volts |
| Standard batteries are located per PAE machinery drawing and are provided as follows: |
| 24 volt DC house battery bank - consists of twelve (12) 8D, 12 volt "Lifeline" AGM @ 255 Ah each. Two (2) groups of six (6) batteries each are connected in parallel. The two groups are connected in series to provide a total battery bank rating of 1,530 amps at 24 volt. Includes Link 10 battery monitor |
| 12 volt DC power is supplied to the pilot house distribution panel by one (1) Group 31 "Lifeline" AGM @ 105 Ah battery. A Centaur 12 volt DC 30 amp three bank output battery charger charges the batteries through the inverter |
| Main engine starting - two (2) 4D "Lifeline" AGM @ 255 Ah each connected in series for 24 volt starting. Switching logic to parallel with 24 volt house bank for emergency starting |
| Generator starting - two (2) Group 31 “Lifeline” AGM @ 105 Ah each connected in series for 24 volt starting. Switching logic to parallel with 24 volt house bank for emergency starting |
| Wing engine starting - two (2) Group 31 “Lifeline” AGM @ 105 Ah each connected in series for 24 volt starting. Switching logic to parallel with 24 volt house bank for emergency starting |
| 24 volt battery charging is provided in the following ways: |
| Outback inverter/chargers provide a total of 120/240 amps at 24 volts |
| One (1) "Centaur" 100 amp charger which operates on 90-265 volt AC input, 45-65 Hz, 3600VA three (3) bank outputs, lead acid/gel/agm. This charger is a back up to the inverter/charger and serves as a battery charger when the vessel is in a 50 Hz environment |
| Main engine starting battery bank is charged from the house bank thru a diode isolator |
| Onan 27.5 kW generator has its own 20 amp 24 volt alternator which charges its starting battery |
| Wing engine has its own 100 amp 24 volt alternator which charges its starting battery |
