Thank you all! Very informative. I just sent the article link to the president of our lake condo's owner's association. I know our marinas have GFCI protection (and assume they are tested regularly), but we have a number of large boats with onboard AC systems (inverters and/or generators as well as shore power) and suggested they consider requiring those boats to have ELCI's operating.

I just want to thank you guys for this thread. Even though I have a number of years working on shipboard electronics, my experience was on large, deep-water vessels that didn't use dockside power connections. This has been very educational. Among all of those like me who might have read about it here, this awareness might well save a life. 73, Ron AC7AC ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
