Raritan Reverse Polarity Alarm

The Reverse Polarity Alarm is a crucial safety device for boaters, ensuring that your vessel is securely and correctly connected to shore power. This alarm helps prevent electrical mishaps by detecting improper wiring at dockside power sources.

What is a Reverse Polarity Alarm?

A Reverse Polarity Alarm is designed to alert boat owners when the electrical outlet at the dock has been wired incorrectly. Specifically, it detects when the hot and neutral wires are swapped, which can lead to dangerous electrical conditions aboard your boat.

• Peace of Mind: Allows you to confidently connect to unfamiliar shore power sources without fear of electrical issues.
• Compliance: Meets safety standards required for vessels utilizing shore power.

How the Reverse Polarity Alarm Works

The alarm continuously monitors the polarity of the shore power outlet. If it detects a reversal of the hot and neutral wires, the device activates an audible alarm or a warning light on your boat’s AC electrical panel. This immediate alert enables you to disconnect and avoid potential electrical damage.

Installation and Compatibility

Installing the Reverse Polarity Alarm is straightforward and is compatible with most boats equipped with a 120-volt AC shore power connection. It is recommended to have the device installed by a qualified marine electrician to ensure optimal performance and safety.
