Installing an ELCI Prevents Electric Shock Drowning!

SmartPlug Systems, pioneer in shore power safety, explains the importance of this critical piece of equipment and the simplicity of adding one by the average DIY boat owner. An ELCI is similar to a residential GFCI . If it senses a problem with the ground, whether due to a damaged or severed wire or an incorrectly connected piece of equipment, it shuts off the power within a fraction of a second. Some safety-minded marinas have installed GFI devices on their power pedestals, but many have not.

This is why the American Boat and Yacht Council, the organization that sets boat manufacturing safety guidelines, mandates the inclusion of an ELCI solution on all new boats using Shore Power. For owners of older boats familiar with marine wiring, installing an ELCI requires attention to detail but is straightforward. SmartPlug Systems’ ELCI solution consists of two components, a ground fault sensor used in tandem with a UL-489 listed circuit breaker with built-in shunt trip and auxiliary switch. This combined package provides power and fault status indicators and identifies between a ground fault versus a short circuit trip.
