  • Publication number: 20190291831
    Abstract: A safety apparatus designed to prevent electric shock and protect equipment on or around marinas or docks. Said apparatus alerts and electrically isolates the marina or dock from the power source in the event a hazardous condition is detected. Safety hazards include, but are not limited to: Earth-ground fault, electricity in the water, high-water condition, or dock-break away condition. Comparing to prior art, the distinction of said invention is providing personal and equipment protection from all hazardous scenarios, and a fail-safe operation.
