Special Requirements for Marine Installations:
These refrigerators are internally wired so that the AC and DC circuits are isolated from each other. If the
positive (+12/24 volts) input is grounded (by cuts in the wire insulation, incorrectly insulated components, etc.) a
voltage potential can be caused throughout the boat, which causes corrosion to form on any metal parts that are
exposed to water.
This condition can be avoided by wiring the boat so that the AC and DC grounds are common and so the wiring
is protected per NNMA CERTIFICATION HANDBOOK (1987). Inspect all wiring to make sure that the insulation
is not damaged and use plastic wire clamps.
