Shore Power Charger Overview

1. Description
This circuit provides charging current to the batteries.

When connected to shore power, main electricity provides electrical current which is converted to a battery-charging current through a charger. This arrives at a switch (S1) that can be used to disconnect the current from the boat or connect the current to the boat. Current to the boat is limited by a 25Amp circuit breaker. The circuit is monitored by a combined Voltmeter / Ammeter.

2. Touch Points
Power is supplied from shore power and is directed to the House Battery Chargers Busbar.
