Hubbell Marine’s YQ230 Intelligent Y Adapter is ideal for situations when an owner with a 50-amp, 125/250-volt boat docks in a marina that can only provide 30-amp, 125V service. The YQ230 safely corrects this incompatibility without any loss of onboard power functionality. An internal PC board automatically checks that both plugs are engaged in separately phased outlets and ensures true 250V power is delivered to the boat. A three-pole contactor that breaks both hots and neutrals prevents the possibility of a live plug when not engaged. To ensure adequate voltage and proper wiring exist at the marina, the YQ230 shuts off if something is amiss with the power. A safety indicator light displays when the adapter is connected and working normally. The Hubbell YQ230 Adapter has fully molded plugs and connectors. Its 50-amp connector mates with the boat’s male cordset end, while its pair of 30-amp plugs connect to two differently phased 30-amp shore power receptacles. Environmentally sealed against humidity, fog and rain, it also has a UV-resistant, high-impact housing. Contact: Hubbell Marine Electrical Products at 800-288-6000 or visit www.hubbell-marine.com.
