Lethal CurrentLethal Current
Fundamental policy of the USPS is SAFETY
Human Body
◦ Resistance – 4 KΩ (moist skin) to 24 KΩ (dry skin)
◦ Safe current (through chest) – less than 20 milliamps
◦ E = 120 VAC R = 4 KΩ I = ?
◦ I = 30 milliamps - NOT SAFE
◦ Don’t want current through chest cavity (may be lethal)

Safety PrecautionsSafety Precautions
Turn circuit off
◦ Disconnect service cord
◦ Disconnect negative battery cable
If must work on live AC circuit
◦ Need 2nd
safety person
Remove metal jewelry
Know your boat and its wiring
Use outlet tester on AC outlets
Use 3-wire extension cord from GFI outlet MEl

Wire Has ResistanceWire Has Resistance
Inadvertent Resistors
◦ Wire too small (min of #16 - properly size using table)
◦ Bad connections (or corroded connections)
 Clean and tighten battery connectors
 Tighten lug screws and inspect wire to lug connection
◦ Why do wires get warm / hot?
 Low resistance circuits pass high current (P = I2
x R)
 Wires can account for much of the overall resistance

First select appropriate connector
Strip insulation length of stem plus 1/16”
Insert stripped end all way into terminal
◦ End should extend 1/16”
Place terminal in same color slot
◦ First crimp end of terminal barrel nearest ring

SolderingSoldering
Terminal connection can’t be only soldered
◦ Must also be crimped
Soldering is normally not required
◦ Crimped connectors are acceptable to ABYC
◦ If solder, apply only to ring end of terminal
Solder changes stranded wire into solid
◦ Stranded wire is flexible
Use 40% lead / 60% tin, rosin core solder
Battery lugs may be only soldered

SummarySummary
Circuits should be off when working on them
Use only marine grade properly sized wires
◦ Tables will help determine proper wire size
◦ Minimum wire size is #16 AWG
Use wire terminations and ratcheting crimper
DC circuits are 2 dedicated wires
◦ Waterproof wire connection in bilge
AC circuits are 3 dedicated wires
◦ GFCI in galley, head, machine spaces & weather deck
Separate Grounding & Bonding systems required

  10. (no notes)
  11. Good review of Ohm’s law Note that voltage drop in example exceeds 10% Note the application of Ohm’s Law. P = I x E =I x (I x R) = I^2 x R. As resistance drops, the current goes up as the square – ½ resistance results in 4x current, which leads to heating.

  13. Table 2-1 Table is a reference table – Gives max current per wire size
  14. Equivalent to Table 2-3 (from West Marine catalog) Note that distance is round trip distance Given current (side scale) and round trip distance (bottom scale) gives wire size
  15. Table 2-2 Same info as previous table Given max DC current and wire length – gives wire size Use of table will be explained in Figure 2-2
  16. Table 2-3 Given max AC current and wire length – gives wire size Use of table will be explained in Figure 2-2
  17. Problem statement Answers from Tables 2-1, 2-2 and 2-3
  18. Start with determining current to load Then given current of 10A from Table 2-2A determine need #16 wire Then given 10 A and #16 wire from Table 2-3 determine maximum length of wires
  19. Answers for wires from Inverter to Load
  20. Power is power AC current is 10 A DC current if 100% efficiency is 100 A I = P / E = 1200 / 12 = 100 A But inverter is only 91% efficient Therefore DC current is 100 / .91 = 110 A Start with determining current to inverter Then given current of 110A from Table 2-1 determine need #1 wire Then given 110 A and #1 wire from Table 2-3 determine maximum length of wires
  21. Note that at this load (110A), the battery must be de-rated and will not deliver 200AH. See Chapter 3.

  24. Figure 2-4
  25. Major topics in Wire Terminations section
  26. Figure 2-5 Only marine grade nylon ring terminals or nylon flanged connectors (captive spade) are approved by ABYC for wire terminals. Marine grade nylon butt connectors are used to join wires together. Nylon insulation is color coded to indicate wire size. Red is #22 to 16, blue is #16 to 14 and yellow is #12 to 10. Ring hole or spade opening must match the screw or stud diameter. Waterproof connectors are adhesive lined and after crimping are heated to shrink their insulation tight against the wire insulation. Twist-on connectors (wire nuts) are prohibited on boats.
  27. Figure 2-4 Specified by ABYC. Will not release until correct amount of crimp is applied. Don’t use inexpensive stripper/crimper as is almost impossible to apply the correct amount of compression. Can be used to strip insulation from wires.
  28. Makes good demonstration in class
  29. Don’t use acid-core solder for electrical work!
  30. Bottom is Figure 2-3B Are waterproof terminal and butt connectors. Heat-Shrink tubing can be used to make non-waterproof terminals and connectors waterproof. Heat is best from a hair dryer on hottest setting.
