ABSTRACT:
A "Y" adapter for supplying power to a marine vessel from a dockside power center having two receptacles includes two three-pole plugs insertable into the receptacles, a third four-pole plug for connection to the wiring system of the vessel and a sensing and control unit for selectively switching paths between these plugs. All conductor lines are switchable to the third plug and between the input plugs by a voltage and phase sensing unit and contactor arrangement. Energization of one input plug while the other one is plugged into a receptacle is prevented and other dangerous voltage circumstances are also prevented.
