The Ratio Electric MP16 or AC16 Shore Power Kit

The Ratio Electric MP16 shore power kit is specifically designed for boats that regularly require shore power access. Shore power is essential for charging batteries, powering electrical systems onboard, and using household appliances while the boat is docked. This kit includes all the necessary components for a complete installation, including the shore power inlet, shore power cables, electrical cabinets, and shore power plugs.

Benefits of Shore Power Cable Snap-in Connections
One of the most notable features of the MP16 and AC16 kit is the use of snap-in connections. This innovative technology offers several key advantages:

Faster Installation
The snap-in shore power plug connections ensure that the various elements in the kit can be easily and quickly connected. This means the installer spends less time assembling the parts. These shore power plug connections are robust and ensure years of trouble-free power delivery.

Easy Maintenance
Should maintenance or replacement be necessary, the components can be easily disconnected and replaced without the need for complex tools.

Reliability and Safety
The snap-in connections are designed to be secure and safe. They provide a reliable electrical connection that can withstand the heavy vibrations and movements typical of a maritime environment.

Installing the Electrical System on a Boat

Let's look at how an experienced boat builder, let's call him Tim, uses this kit to install a shore power system. He installs an AC16 kit.

Preparation: Tim starts by preparing the installation site on the boat. He ensures the location for the shore power inlet is free of obstacles and easily accessible.

Mounting the Inlet: Tim mounts the inlet on the hull of the boat, considering the position of the inlet relative to the expected shore power source. The inlet comes with a so-called pigtail with a snap-in shore power plug. Thanks to the clear manual, simple mounting is done within minutes.

Wiring: Next, Tim connects the shore power cable between the shore power inlet and the onboard residual-current circuit breaker. The snap-in connectors make it easy to securely attach the cables without special tools. Then, the various components of the kit can be mounted, such as a single or double outlet or a galvanic isolator. Here, too, Tim can use snap-in shore power plug connections, which are standard on these parts: quick and effective.

System Testing: Finally, Tim thoroughly tests the system to ensure everything functions correctly. Thanks to the robust design of the AC16 kit, the tests go smoothly.

Results and Conclusion
Thanks to the Ratio Electric AC16 shore power kit and the innovative snap-in connections, Tim installed the shore power system in a fraction of the time it would normally take. The installation was not only faster but also more reliable and easier to maintain. For Tim, this means he can complete more projects in less time, increasing both his efficiency and profitability.
