AC vs. DC

After discussing the safety risks of AC systems, we will explore the fundamental differences between AC and DC systems.

AC Grounding

We learn about the importance of the normally non-current-carrying grounding conductor for the safety of AC systems. In the second half of the lesson we will also look at a phenomenon called Electric Shock Drowning and how this risk can be prevented.

AC System Considerations

We learn about the ABYC and ISO installation requirements for AC systems on boats and how you can make sure your system is safe and standards compliant.
