I'd guess it was a neutral to earth ground tie or a neutral to neutral tie if there was 2 seperate shore cords or inverter powering the boat but what do I know haha, Cheers
When he did the first check of the entire cable, the leakage measured 0.122ish was that not returning via the cable ie thru the water! When he measured the white red and black together the total was .22 ish. He then measured .106 was going through the green ground wire. After he “fixed” it he should have measured the whole cable, the white red and black together then the green only to prove the fix.
@JohnSmith-qi9qs I think he does at 7:41 or am I wrong? His miliamp meter read 1.6miliamps with all 3 current carrying conductors clamped & all loads in the boat running
@JohnSmith-qi9qs His miliamp clamp confirmed he fixed the problem & he was measuring the current the same way a gfi does 24/7, gfi's don't read the earth ground. His 1st test was finding the obvios ground fault current on the 3 current carrying conductors with his meter & then he then fixed the problem. His 2nd test he clamped all 3 current cables again & confirmed no power was being lost to ground & all current was being returned back to its source. His 3rd test he went a mile further & plugged in a temporary gfi breaker inline on the shore cable with ALL LOADS ON in boat & confirmed the gfi didn't trip, those suckers will trip @ 5miliamps or more.
Thanks for blessing us with your Nautical Knowledgeable 🤜🤛
Ditto. What was the culprit that you fixed. You need to close the loop.
You know he can't give all his secrets away haha
So what was causing the ground fault on the boat?

He checked 1 of 3 tests and called it good.

Boo! Why did I watch this????? Thumbs down for waste of my time
