Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] 230VAC EARTH is connected to Amel Bonding system in SM2k

I think there was a message about this from Olivier a few weeks ago – stating that if you have the climma system installed the bonding was connected to AC earth (at the boat side of the generator / shorepower switch) via the climma system and that this was ok. I think my conclusion from this was therefore that probably the safest approach is to accept a connection between AC earth and the bonding exists and therefore have an isolation transformer on the shorepower feed, then we don’t have to be concerned as to whether the shorepower earth is wire correctly in the marina.

Maybe, not everything is cut and dry.
The 230VAC EARTH (yellow/green shore power/generator) is connected to the Amel Bonding System (yellow/green wire) at the Climma A/C salt water pump. The 230VAC EARTH (yellow/green shore power/generator) is connected to the pump housing and the Amel Bonding system (yellow/green wire) is connected to the pump housing via a connection to the one-way valve on the top of the pump.
I am not sure, but this may be the case with the 230VAC pumps with the Dessalator water maker.
I wish that I knew more about this.
