  • Patent number: 11817680
    Abstract: Power pedestals with individual per side ground fault mains allow for service of breakers and receptacles without interrupting power to adjacent in-use power circuits and or boaters. In turn, ground fault mains eliminate the need for individual ground fault breakers tied to each receptacle. The power pedestals also allow for use of reverse Y adapters in the vessel to pedestal connection and allow for serviceability of single side or whole pedestal without disconnecting power to a string of pedestals on a loop feed circuits and can reduce overall cost of maintenance by eliminating costly individual ground fault breakers per-shore power connection.
