Frequently Asked Questions
What vessels typically require 50-amp shore power service?
Large recreational yachts (typically 45+ feet), mega-yachts, trawler yachts with substantial onboard systems, commercial charter vessels, and boats with high-power equipment like air conditioning, electric galleys, or extensive electronics packages require 50-amp service for full system operation.
What is the advantage of 45-degree angled receptacles?
The 45-degree angle provides optimal cable entry positioning, reducing strain on heavy-duty shore power cables and ensuring secure connections. This design also enhances weather protection by directing cable entry downward, preventing water intrusion while maintaining convenient access for docking operations.
Why are aluminum receptacle covers superior to standard plastic covers?
Aluminum powder-coated covers provide superior durability, weather resistance, and professional appearance compared to thermoplastic covers. They withstand impacts better, resist UV degradation, maintain their finish longer, and provide the premium aesthetic expected in luxury marina facilities.
Can this pedestal serve multiple large vessels simultaneously?
The configuration allows one vessel to use the 50-amp service while another connects to the 30-amp outlet, provided the total electrical load doesn't exceed the pedestal's feed capacity. The 20-amp GFCI outlet can serve smaller craft or marina equipment, maximizing slip utilization and revenue potential.
What electrical codes does this high-capacity pedestal meet?
The SPC-36-3A-305 meets National Electrical Code (NEC) requirements for marina electrical distribution, including proper circuit protection, grounding systems, and weather protection standards for high-capacity shore power systems. Professional installation by qualified marine electricians is essential for code compliance.
How does the 125/250V dual voltage service work?
The 50-amp 125/250V service provides both single-phase 125V power and split-phase 250V power through a single connection. This accommodates vessels with 125V systems, 250V systems, or dual-voltage electrical configurations, providing maximum compatibility for large yacht electrical requirements.
