Next message: Sidney Patin: "Re: lv-ab: Snorkel/dive compressor"
I rewired my AC side last year and installed two 30 amp main GFCI breakers
with a floating ground back to shore power supply. My system will trip if
the shore supply is bad. This evolved after a lot of experience in a marina
that had questional power and a boat in the marina that was emitting stray
current into the harbour.
