3. INTRODUCTION TO THE CONVERTERS
The AC36NVHE-3, AC45NVHE-3, and AC50NVHE-3 are high performance Shore Power
Converters utilizing dual-conversion technology. These systems will accept any three phase input
service with a frequency between 40-70Hertz, and a voltage between 170-520VAC. The output
power form has been programmed at the factory for the voltage and frequency required by your
yacht.
Dual-conversion technology is the preferredtechniqueforAC powerconversion,andwaschosen for
these converters. In this technology, the shore power service is isolated by an input transformerand
then converted to DC power by an input rectifier. The output inverters then convert the DC power
back to the required AC power form (both voltage and frequency) required by the yacht.

AC36NVHE-3 / AC45NVHE-3 / AC50NVHE-3 Operations Manual....9
3 INTRODUCTION TO THE CONVERTERS, cont.
Being converters designed from the ground up specifically for the yachting industry, alleffortshave
been made to produce a system capable of withstanding the marine environment. All system
components are packaged in one drip-proof, dust-resistant stainless steel enclosure. Major
components are internally modular, allowing a simple exchange in the unlikely event of failure.
Complete electrical maintenance and service can be provided with only front access to the system.
Two lightweight power modules can be removed and replaced through the front panel for repair or
power level upgrade.
System operation is managed through two basic operators:
A safety disconnect on the front of the enclosure is used for securing input service during periods of
disuse, when maintenance and/or service is in-process, or when an emergency shutdown is needed.
Three membrane switch groups in the control console—SHOREPOWER,CONVERTERPOWER,
and SHIP’S POWER—provide normal operation of the system. Each switch group contains anON
and OFF switch with associated LED indicators.
In addition to the basic function of power conversion, the converter provides the user with a
sophisticated power analysis and monitoring capacity. All parameters for input and output power,
along with operations and status information, are available on the front panel display console.
Various displays are selected through a long life, sealed membrane switch panel.
For additional information on controls and indicators, please refer to Section 6.

5. INSTALLATION
This installation section is divided into two parts: the first section covers mechanical installation
while the second covers electrical installation.
Read this manual thoroughly prior to attempting the installation. Improper installation is the most
significant cause of system start-up problems and service issues over the product’s life. Upon
receipt of the equipment, perform an externalvisual inspection. Verifythatnameplateinformation is
consistent with the ship’s power requirements (required form, voltage, and frequency).
Proper planning will speed up installation, location, and connection of the equipment. Follow the
suggested minimum clearances provided in Table2. Thethermalloadpresentedbytheconverter
to the chilled water loop will be substantial and approximately 7,860 BTU/Hr at maximum
continuous load for the AC36NVHE-3; 9,825 BTU/Hr for the AC45NVHE-3; and
10,915 BTU/Hr for the AC50NVHE-3.
THE CONVERTER IS HEAVY, WEIGHING UP TO 776 lbs. (353 kg)
DEPENDING ON THE OPTIONS INSTALLED. EXTREME CAUTION
MUST BE EXERCISED IN HANDLING AND INSTALLATION TO AVOID
EQUIPMENT DAMAGE OR INJURY TO PERSONNEL. AN ADEQUATE
MATERIAL HANDLING DEVICE SHOULD BE USED FOR UNLOADING,
MOVING, AND POSITIONING THE SYSTEM.

AC36NVHE-3 / AC45NVHE-3 / AC50NVHE-3 Operations Manual....15
5.1 MECHANICAL INSTALLATION
5.1.1 General
The converters were designed for deck mount installations and as such are provided with six
mounting holes, three per side. Mounting holes have been provided with ½” (12.7mm) diameters;
stainless steel hardware in the range of 3/8” to 7/16” (10-11mm) diameter is required.
The mounting surface should be flat and dimensionally stable to within 1/16” (1.5mm) to prevent
torsional stresses being applied to the structure of the converter. Spacers (shim stock)maybe added
between the mounting surface and the converter mounting flanges to adjust the mounting plane. If
the system is to be mounted in a high vibration/shock environment, then the factory must be
consulted concerning the application. Drawings for approved shock mounting assemblies will be
supplied.
5.1.2 Clearances
The following recommended clearances must be consideredduringinstallationforproperoperation:

5.1.3 Chilled Water Loop Requirements
1. Coolant lines
a. The four coolant line connections are to 1/2" diameter copper pipes.
b. Use Teflon sealant to ensure that no leakage will occur.
2. Coolant line valves
a. Manual isolation valves must be installed locally so that shutoff can occur in the
event maintenance or a leak.
b. A flow control solenoid must be installed to halt coolant flow when the
converters are not in use. Without such, condensation can be created within the
converter.
c. A flow control solenoid may be controlled by wiring its coil through a NO
auxiliary switch added to the converter’s K2 contactor. This way, flow will only be
present when the converter is switched to SHORE POWER ON.
3. Rear-bottom condensation drip line
a. The rear-bottom condensation drip line connection is made to a 3/8" diameter
painted steel pipe.
b. Use Teflon sealant to ensure that no leakage will occur.
4. Maintenance
a. No maintenance need be performed on the heat exchange unitwhen itisusedin a
chilled, fresh water or ethylene glycol system.
5. Flow
a. A coolant flow rate greater than 16 GPM (Gallons per Minute) is wasteful and
can accelerate water erosion of the heat exchange unit’s copper piping and sweated
junctions.

AC36NVHE-3 / AC45NVHE-3 / AC50NVHE-3 Operations Manual....19
5.2 ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
This procedure assumes the physical installation of the converter has been completed.
It is the installer’s responsibility to provide input service over-current protection and a
disconnect means.
It is recommended that connection be made to the distribution bus through a manually
operated disconnect device such as a molded case switch or circuit breaker (rated for the total
system amperage) to ease disconnectionandprovideasafeservicingenvironmentin theevent
of converter failure.
Follow the table below when considering shore power input cabling.

All power wiring requires the removal of the front panel and the cable access cover (cabinet
bottom). Drill or punch appropriate holes for the selected strain reliefs. Re-install the front
panel using the removed hardware. Place the disconnect switch in the OFF position.
