Shore connections

Safe Hand's mooring in Northwich is courtesy of Northwich Drydock Co. I seriously cannot recommend these peeps highly enough, whatever the scale or scope of your work, the Drydock team are on hand to assist, support and enable. 

First on the list was how to get aboard? The wooden ramp made for use at Saltersford locks was more of a nuisance than a help here.
  These steel steps were simple to fabricate and are light enough to move single handed. They lock onto the kickboard, and scaffold clamps on the lower stays allow adjustment for hull curvature. Handrails may be added in the future, but so far I have not felt the need.

Up to now, AC electrical power has been supplied by a 10Kva 230v diesel generator. Now there is access to a shore supply, I will use this paint storage locker to house the necessary equipment.

Disconnect, metering, RCD / overload protection, and a 7Kva isolation transformer, all in a nice compact space.
  The transformer is essential for electrical safety, and preventing DC currents from accelerating hull corrosion. Earth on a boat is not necessarily the same as potential as earth on land.
  Ship side of the Victron unit, Neutral and Earth are bonded together, allowing RCDs and RCBOs to function as intended.

Finally a 32A plug in point is fitted, allowing quick and easy disconnection when required. I made this steel shroud to improve weather and impact resistance. It is very pleasant to have electricity on board without the sound of a diesel engine running at 3000 rpm.
