It watches for AC leakage a plain breaker ignores, shows power and fault status at a glance, and stands up to salt air on an exposed helm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShore power is where a lot of boats hide their biggest electrical risk. The SmartPlug Combo Kit with ELCI Sensor and 30 Amp Breaker bundles the two pieces that keep that risk in check, an Electric Leakage Circuit Interrupter and a 30 Amp main breaker, behind one stainless steel door. It's the panel you want sitting between your shore power inlet and the rest of the boat's AC system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere's what an ELCI does that a plain breaker can't. A regular breaker only trips on overcurrent, too many amps flowing at once. An ELCI watches for leakage, current that's sneaking off the intended path, usually into the water or the boat's bonding system. That's the fault that puts swimmers at risk around a dock and quietly corrodes underwater metal. When the sensor sees leakage, it drops the whole AC supply. This is exactly the protection ABYC E-11 calls for on modern boats, and it's why surveyors and insurers keep asking about it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe combo part matters. Instead of sourcing an ELCI sensor, a 30 Amp breaker, and a weatherproof enclosure separately and hoping they play nice, you get them matched in one kit. The stainless steel door takes the salt air and the occasional boot better than a plastic cover, so it earns its place at an exposed helm or in a cockpit locker. Power and fault status indicators sit right on the face, so a glance tells you whether shore power is live and whether something tripped. And when it does trip, the unit helps you tell a ground fault apart from a short circuit, which saves you guessing at two very different problems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the 30 Amp, 120 volt single-phase version, sized for the 30A shore service you'll find on most boats under about 40 feet. If your boat runs a stack of AC loads at once, say an air conditioner and a water heater and a battery charger all pulling together, 30 amps gets tight and a 50A setup is the better call. For a typical cruiser or weekender on a single 30A cord, this is right in the pocket.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA few install notes worth knowing up front. ABYC wants the ELCI breaker within 10 feet of the shore power inlet, so plan the mounting spot near where the cord lands. The unit needs some depth behind it, so a shallow locker on a smaller sailboat can be tight, measure before you cut. Keep neutral and ground isolated downstream of the ELCI. If they get bonded together past the sensor, it'll read that as leakage and nuisance-trip every time you plug in. And skip any pigtail adapter that defeats the ground-fault path, it'll do the same thing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOlder boats sometimes fight an ELCI at first, and that's usually the ELCI doing its job. Decades of AC wiring, a damp motor, a tired water heater element, any of it can leak enough current to trip a healthy sensor. Before you blame the kit, have the AC system insulation tested. More often than not the ELCI is catching a real fault that a plain breaker was ignoring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOut in the salt, give the stainless door a little attention. Owners who pull the hinge pins once a season and grease them don't get seized hinges later. It's a two-minute job that keeps the door swinging for years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSmartPlug builds shore power gear for boats and RVs, and they back this kit with a 7-year warranty. If you're bringing an older boat up to current ABYC standards, or rigging a new inlet the right way the first time, this combo kit covers the protection side without a parts-bin scavenger hunt. Wire it in, and you've closed one of the most common gaps in a boat's AC system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"nvn-features\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e30 Amp, 120V AC single-phase rating matches the standard 30A shore power service on most boats under 40 feet\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eElectric Leakage Circuit Interrupter (ELCI) trips on AC ground leakage, meeting the ABYC E-11 shore power safety requirement a plain breaker can't\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCombo kit pairs the ELCI sensor with a 30 Amp main breaker in one panel, so there's no sourcing and matching parts separately\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStainless steel door handles salt air and spray at an exposed helm or in a cockpit locker better than a plastic cover\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePower and fault status indicators on the face show at a glance whether shore power is live and whether a fault has tripped\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGround-fault vs short-circuit trip identification tells you why it tripped, not just that it did\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eChemical and UV resistant housing holds up to sun and deck cleaning products\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBacked by SmartPlug's 7-year warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-trust\"\u003e\n  \u003ch2\u003eWhy Buy from NVN Marine\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eAuthorized SmartPlug reseller, full manufacturer warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNMEA member and ABYC certified, advice from real boat techs\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eSame-day shipping before 3 PM ET on in-stock items\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNY headquarters and Fort Lauderdale flagship retail store\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-faq\"\u003e\n  \u003cdetails\u003e\n    \u003csummary\u003eWhat comes in the SmartPlug ELCI combo kit?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eYou get the three pieces you need for shore power ground-fault protection in one box: the ELCI sensor, a 30 Amp main breaker, and a stainless steel door to mount and cover it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/details\u003e\n  \u003cdetails\u003e\n    \u003csummary\u003eWhat does the ELCI actually protect against?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eAn Electric Leakage Circuit Interrupter watches for AC current leaking off the intended path, usually into the water or the boat's bonding system.
