When water meets electricity, danger can occur. This is especially true when a boater with 50 amp 125/250 volt power requirements pull into a slip with 30 amp service. The YQ230 Intelligent Y Adapter helps rectify this common mismatch by safely powering a 50A, 125/250V AC boat from two oppositely-phased 30A, 125V AC receptacles dockside. Its three-pole contactor breaks hots and neutrals to help prevent the risk of a live plug when not engaged and ensures that adequate voltage and proper wiring exists at the marina prior to plugging in. The adapter, which has a suggested retail value of less than $600, features UV-resistant, high-impact housing that is environmentally sealed against humidity, fog and rain; a safety indicator light; cord clamps; and a fully-molded connector and plugs.
