On this kind of yacht is installed a galley refrigerator with freezer, operating at 230V (it also operates by means of dedicated inverter).
The galley refrigerator is powered by a 24V / 2500VA inverter (1) that allows it to be operated with 230V power both from the shore and with the inverter itself.
In order to avoid a parallel connection between the 230V mains and the inverter outlet, which could damage the inverter, a switching system has been arranged and equipped with two inputs: one for the shore connection and the other for the inverter connection and a connection for the AC system.
When shore supply is available, the galley refrigerator operating at 230V will be automatically supplied and the inverter will hold in stand-by.
Should the shore supply fail, the switch will automatically switch over to the inverter, supplied on its turn, by the user batteries. This will enable the inverter to supply the galley refrigerator.
Remember that the services batteries have a limited charge, therefore, during their use check periodically their charge status and eventually proceed with recharging.
