4.2.4 Shore power and high voltage system

The high voltage battery for an electric motor is charged using a shore power connection. The integrated charger is connected to both the motor systems (Evoy) and the service battery.

For detailed instructions on charging the motor, refer to the owner's manual.

  • Do not modify the craft's electrical system or relevant drawings.

  • Installation, alterations and maintenance should be performed by a competent marine electrical technician. Inspect system at least twice a year. 

  • Disconnect the shore power connections when the system is not in use.

  • Connect metallic housings or enclosures of installed electrical appliances to the protective conductor system in the craft (green or green with a yellow stripe conductor).

  • Use double-insulated or grounded (earthed) electrical appliances.

To minimize shock and fire hazards: 

  • Always connect the plug in the boat last and disconnect it first.

  • Close the shore power inlet cover tightly, when not in use.

The boat's plug is a specialized type that prevents operation if it remains inserted.

Risk of electric shock and fire!

  • Do not touch an energized high voltage system.

  • Try to minimize the risk of electric shock, short circuit or fire.

  • Do not allow the shore power cable to hang in the water. If it does, a hazardous electric field which can cause injury or death to nearby swimmers could be created in the water.

  • Never modify the connections on the shore power cable. Use only compatible cable connectors and shore power receptacles.

  • If the earth fault breaker is tripped, disconnect the shore power cable immediately. In such a case contact a qualified electrician for repairs before the system is used again.
