RCD installation on yachts

[smij]

Our 30 year old yacht has been surveyed for sale and we have been told we need to install a RCD on the 240 v system which comes from shore or own generator. Any ideas how this could easily be done?

That would depend upon what type of installation you have for your 240 system........

if you have something like a home 'mains' distribution box on your boat then its simple to add a RCD 'switch' - something like:http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/original-...ls_Supplies_Electrical_ET&hash=item43bac5a9ad

Just wire in a stand-alone RCD between the deck socket and the fuse box, make sure the genny inputs on the deck socket side. You could use one of these - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Shower-Co...ectrical_ET&hash=item257ad9c653#ht_738wt_1126

I have something very similar to this. From your local caravan shop, cheap-ish
