Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Re: correct installation of a new charger
Hi again,
On Kristy there is a 220 "Ground" connection to the case and thus to the engine block and the rest of the bonding system. See an earlier thread and post by Olivier in which he says that

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Kent !!!
I agree with Alan. There is theory and there is practice. I check my bonding system regularly, and all those connections held in place with SS hose clamps have zero resistance.
On another note. If

When you press the rocker to Start the orange light blinks orange the turns to green when the Onan is running. That is the light that will blink an error code after a computer commanded

Hi Bill
Where would I see that error code? My generator does not have an LCD/LED Panel but just a start rocker switch with one red light. There is hour meter but no others

Eric,
This is the connection that Alan refers to on the Amel installed Calpeda BCM20E pump:
You know the Amel bonding system is connected to the Calpeda pump housing by the hose clamp around the exit

Dear group,
I think there was a misunderstanding in Enios question regarding the batt-chargers connection. On the AC-side the charger connects to three cables: phase, neutral and earth. While phase

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Kent !!!
Proper seacocks have screw posts for terminating the wires with crimped on terminals.
It’s not perfect, the terminals need to be renewed every few years, especially if they get damp with salt water,

Yes I am not sure how else one would connect them, perhaps with a copper tie rather than S/S certainly one of the wires looked very corroded.

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Kent !!!
If you check that there is no continuity between the AC grounding (green/yellow) and the charger case AND there is no continuity between DC -ve and the charger case then it may be OK to connect it to
