CONTROL WIRING
For control wiring, see the DC WIRE SIZING page in this
manual.
NOTE: All wiring should be tied down with clamps or plastic
ties, and spaced at intervals close enough to prevent chafing
from vibration. Check to make sure all the harness connec-
tions are tight and that they are made to the appropriate
terminals.
Refer to the wire size chart (DC) in this manual when
selecting the wire size to be used between the engine control
panel and remote start/stop panel. Use color codes to comply
with ABYC Standards. See your WESTERBEKE Operators
Manual for the remote panel wiring schematic.
NOTE: Generator AC load connections, shore power
connections, voltage adjustments and all the necessary
wiring diagrams are included in your WESTERBEKE
Operators Manual.
AC WIRING (GENERATORS)
Various AC output voltages and frequencies are available for
your generator. For these specifications, and for information
about AC wiring connections and adjustments, refer to your
Operators Manual.
The generators data plate gives the voltage, current and fre-
quency rating of the generator. A diagram of the various AC
voltage connections is provided on the AC wiring decal that
is affixed to the inside of the louvered cover at the generator
end of the unit.
Recommended publications concerning electrical installation
standards and safety codes are listed in the SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS section of this manual. Make sure that all
electrical connections, tests and adjustments are performed
by a qualified electrician.
BATTERIES
Starter batteries should be located as close to the engine or
generator as possible to avoid voltage drop through long
leads. Install a battery disconnect switch in the B+ cable so
the battery can be disconnected when the engine/generator is
serviced. It is bad practice to use the starter batteries for other
services unless they require low amperage or are intermittent.
In cases where there are substantial loads (from lights,
refrigerators, radios, depth sounders, etc.) it is essential to
have a complete, separate system and to provide charging
current for this by means of a second alternator, dual output
alternator or alternator output splitter. The output splitter is a
standard marine accessory. It comes with complete
instructions on how it can be integrated with an electrical
system.
Starter batteries must be of a type which permits a high rate
of discharge.
See your Operators Manual specifications for cold cranking
ampere hours requirements. Most marine batteries on the
market today have large cranking capacities. The battery
compartment must be well ventilated to prevent
accumulation of explosive battery gases.
Mount the battery in an acid-resistant tray on a platform
above the floor. It must be secured to prevent shifting. If
mounted in an engine compartment, always install a
non-metallic cover to prevent battery damage and arcing
from accidentally dropped tools. Be sure the battery
connections are clean and tight, then cover the battery
terminals with a dielectric grease to retard corrosion.
U.S. Coast Guard regulations and Marine Insurance
Companies require that the ship’s batteries have a fixed cover
or holdown straps to keep the batteries in place should a
rollover occur.
Carefully follow the recommended wire sizes shown
in WESTERBEKE’S wiring diagrams for the battery
connections:
GROUNDING
Generators and propulsion engines must be grounded in
accordance with USCG regulation 33CFR183.415. The
regulation requires that a common ground conductor be
connected between the generator and the vessel’s main
propulsion engine’s grounded cranking motor circuit.
The engine or generator must be bonded to the vessel’s
common bonding conductor with a bonding strap. If a
metallic fuel line is installed between the fuel tank and the
engine/generator shutoff valve, it too must be bonded to the
same vessel common conductor.
This conductor prevents accidental passage of cranking
current through the fuel systems and smaller electrical
conductors common to engines and generators. This can
happen if a cranking motor ground circuit becomes resistive
or opens from corrosion, vibration, a bad cable, etc.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
CAUTION:
The electrical code will not allow DC
wiring to be routed together with AC wiring.
BATTERY CABLE REQUIREMENTS
Maximum Length of One Cable
Cable Size 2 1 0 00 000 0000
Length ft. 45791114

WARNING:
Do not connect the starting battery
until installation is complete. Accidental starting of the
engine or generator could cause serious personal injury.
