Come utilizzare un adattatore Smart-Y in modo sicuro
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
- Inspect Both Outlets:
Use a polarity tester to confirm proper wiring. - Connect One Cord at a Time:
Plug in each 50A cord carefully. - Verify the Indicator:
ANG Smart-Y Adapters have status indicators to confirm correct phase alignment. - Secure the Cords:
Keep connections dry and strain-relieved. - 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.
