The Blue Sea ELCI provides overcurrent and leakage protection per ABYC E-11 for whole boat shore power protection. This ensures your boat's electrical system is safeguarded against potential electrical faults, enhancing overall safety and reliability. The main purpose of these ELCI's however is to prevent leakage in the water. Electrical current in the water is probably the most common cause of drowning in marinas.
