Grounding Boat at Gerard Ortega blog

Grounding Boat. When plugged into shorepower, and the ac system ground is bonded to the hull, the quayside, other boats and your boat creates a battery which, 9 times out of ten, causes a current to flow in. Grounding is a process that can be done on land or through the use of special circuitry, wires, and connections to the metal parts of the boat, including the engine. By “grounding” each appliance (whether ac or dc), you provide an immediate and easy path for the electricity to travel, eliminating the danger of shock and ignition (and reducing the possibility of corrosion). Grounding a boat’s electrical system is a critical step in ensuring the safety of its operators and preventing any electrical mishaps. A grounding system is designed to provide a very low resistance path to the ground. On a boat, this path to ground is generally to the engine block. Grounding a boat’s electrical system is essential for safety, as it helps protect against electric shock and fire hazards. The air terminal should be made of copper rod of between 10mm and 19mm diameter, installed.
