Comment utiliser un adaptateur Smart-Y en toute sécurité


Many marinas don’t have a dedicated 100A receptacle, requiring you to combine two 50A outlets to power your yacht. This is where a Smart-Y Adapter becomes indispensable.

What is a Smart-Y Adapter?
A Smart-Y Adapter combines two separate 50A 120/240V shore power receptacles into a single 100A supply. Unlike a simple Y-splitter, a Smart-Y includes automatic paralleling control that checks phase alignment.

Why Phase Checking Matters
If the two outlets are on different phases or wired incorrectly, connecting them without protection can:

  • Damage sensitive equipment
  • Cause dangerous voltage imbalances
  • Trip breakers or create fire hazards

Steps for Safe Use

  1. Inspect Both Outlets:
    Use a polarity tester to confirm proper wiring.
  2. Connect One Cord at a Time:
    Plug in each 50A cord carefully.
  3. Verify the Indicator:
    ANG Smart-Y Adapters have status indicators to confirm correct phase alignment.
  4. Secure the Cords:
    Keep connections dry and strain-relieved.
  5. Monitor Load:
    Avoid running high-startup equipment all at once.

ANG Advantage
ANG Smart-Y Adapters feature:

  • IP56-rated enclosures
  • Automatic phase detection and correction
  • Robust marine-grade connectors
  • Compact design for easy stowage

Conseil :
Never use a basic splitter without verification—it’s not worth the risk.
