T&T: 240 VAC

[Mike Maurice]

It is my opinion that any boat that has 240 VAC(using the US standard of 
2 - 120 volt legs) and using 120 volt equipment in the mix, should have 
an isolation transformer. To protect the 120 volt equipment from the 
"loose neutral" problem, which has been responsible for so many boat fires.

The neutral should be bolted to the case of the transformer and double 
nutted, to prevent it's ever getting loose.
