There are telephone and
shorepower inlets and cords. There is a 10kW shorepower-insulation-transformer
to avoid electrolysis and to convert 110V to 220 V, or 220V to 220V. This
transformer enables the yacht to accept European 220 V as well as USA 110V shore
power supply. Monsoon has no 50 versus 60 Hz problems. And for safety ALL high-voltage circuits are protected with earth-leakage breakers. (2005)
We have a 2kW transformer
to generate 110 Volts AC from 220 V , to run anything that needs this current, mostly small hand tools.
A HEHR 100 Amps/24V (2004) alternator/3 step regulator
is mounted on the main engine. Monsoon is a socalled silent ship: during passage making under sail the generator
is needed only during 6 hours per day, we do from 18 hrs to midnight, because we have electric cooking.
Batteries 24 VDC and 12 VDC
Rectangular plate lead/acid commercial
deep cycle battery house banks, 1x 740 AmpHr at 24 Volt (new 2003)
225 AmpHr/12 V (new 2007) Bosch lead acid batteryfor generator start and 12 volt service.
When all batteries are down...
A situation that never occured to us but is the nightmare of every boatman, when neither main engine nor any of the gensets wants to start because of insufficient power in he batteries...We found a nice solution...the MonsoonXYZ , which charges the 12 volt batterie to start up the generator. Input power of this unit is 13 to 36 VDC, so your main bank may be down down and still supply power to charge your 12 volt battery bank.
