Re: European SM 240V looking to plug in 240V US Marina

I forgot to mention that you should mount a circuit breaker . I believe it is 30 or 35 amps where the cord enters the boat in the stern locker. It should be the same amperage as the breaker on the side of the 220 volt panel. (I’m not on the boat) The only problem with just plugging into a 50 amp outlet is that you need more than 50 amps to shut off the power. If there is a short somewhere in the shore power it might make a fire. The galvanic isolator can then be mounted in the Amel’s green /yellow wire. Fair Winds Eric Amel Super Maramu #376

Hello Dominique, I believe you have the wrong plug as you do not have a ground.. You want a 50 amp twist lock plug. It has 4 connections for USA boats. For European boats you use only 3 of the 4 connections. The green/yellow from the boat goes to the green in the plug. The blue from the boat goes to the black in the plug . The brown from the boat goes to the red in the plug. . The white neutral, is not used.
The neutral wire is used on USA boats to get 110 volts between the black or the red.-this is not used.
