An ELCI is an electric leakage current interrupter. Any lister installed one? Essentially, they are the equivalent of a GFCI for receptacles but protect the whole boat. An ELCI is installed on the shore power feed to the boat. It can take the place of the main AC breaker.
<https://www.bluesea.com/products/category/ELCI_and_GFCI> Whereas your AC receptacles may be protected by a GFCI, your other AC users, hot water heater, air conditioner, hard wired battery charger, etc. are not unless you've installed an ELCI. I think they may be ABYC required for new boats. Any lister heard a surveyor mention one during a survey? Dennis C. Touche' 35-1 #83 Mandeville, LA
