    How to Use a Smart-Y Adapter Safely


    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

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