Technical Brief
- Non-product-specific technical information for improving safety, reliability, and usefulness of marine electrical systems

ABYC/ELCI Rule Postponement
The latest edition of ABYC E-11 calls for Equipment Leakage Circuit Interrupters (ELCI) as part of the main AC circuit protection for shore supplied electricity beginning July 2009.



Because of material shortages in the industry, mandatory enforcement has been delayed until July 2010. Installation of ELCIs is still recommended as a best practice although not manditory for certification as ABYC compliant until July 31, 2010. To learn more about the importance of this protection, read our article from May 2009 that explains E-11.
