2005 Hunter 36 Shorepower

[tfox2069]

I have just double checked with Marinco. They concur that the 2 phases from a 50 amp dock feed should not be joined.
On the schematic, the generator feed is unattached.
I’m going to assume they had an external shore-gen switch of some type.

On a side note, I suggest that owners of 49/50 boats with transformers check their 50A power inlets. Mine was wired wrong, along with 2 others I know of.

You'll have to forgive me not understanding here. When you say, "joined", how would that happen, if you are using one 30a cord from the 50a splitter to Line 1, and the second to Line 2?

I’m also curious about this option of having both 30A circuits in parallel. If you connect a 30A cord to one receptacle and put the circuits in parallel is there any way to lock out the other receptacle? If not, would the male prongs on that side be exposed and carrying live 120V?

If a single 30A cord is connected to Line 1, and Line 2 is then connected via the Parallel circuit breaker, the male prongs on Line 2 at the inlet would NOT be live because you have to open the Line 2 breaker before closing the Parallel breaker, effectively locking out the Line 2 power inlet.

You’ve brought up a good point.
I believe the parallel and shore 2 breakers are slide-locked to each other, which of course makes sense. With the slide lock, you can’t have the parallel and shore 2 on at the same time.
