NEW PRODUCTS - Sure Power for shorepower

With current 240V-AC electrical safety rules and regulations for boats becoming increasingly stricter, Keoghs Marine Electrics on the Gold Coast said it is offering a real solution to improving electrical safety on vessels, with the Sure Power PEC Module, an electronic monitoring self-diagnostic module with LED indication that senses the incoming 240V-AC shorepower polarities and earth continuity.

The three LED indicators advise if:

1. Shore power is correct;

2. Supply polarity faulty; and,
3. Supply earth fault.

If the polarity is correct and the earth is present then the module will switch 240V to energise a contactor allowing power to go to the switchboard giving you Sure Power.

The LED display can also be also repeated in a second location, such as the circuit-breaker board with an optional extra panel.

The PEC Module can be applied under the Australian Standard Wiring Rules for Pleasure craft section AS3004.2: 2008 S5.5.3.2 AC. (Protection against reversal of polarity in the supply lead). And The National Standard for commercial vessels NSCV Part C Section 5 Subsection 5B (Electrical) Paragraph 4.7.1.c (Shore Supply).

The Sure Power PEC Module is manufactured and complies with AS/NZS 3100:2002. Recommended retail is $325.
