More Breaker Panel Mess

4ax.com: Having disconnected and labeled all the 12 V wiring, the 110 AC is now visable. It appears that all the AC ground wires (green) are run to a common buss. But , then, the AC Ground buss is connected with a 6 ga. wire to the DC negative buss. This doesn't seem right to me. Is it? They do this to insure your engine, underwater propulsion gear and everything hooked to the DC ground system is connected to every other stupid boat and the marina's big earth ground system, making one HUGE battery out of those zincs you can't figure out why they disappear so fast. There's absolutely NO reason why the independent DC system should be connected to the AC ground bus I know of. Ours isn't. I'll be damned if I'd pay with MY zincs to protect your prop because my zincs are hooked through the AC wiring ground to your zincs..... Oh, hooked up like that, too, your zincs are protecting the whole electrical system of HIS marina any place it touches the water or makes contact with the earth. Aren't you being, inadvertently, nice....(c; |
