Hi I am a little confused and need a bit of advice :confused:

I am a mechanically biased engineer and am trying to research how I can connect a vessel which has a protective multiple earth system, or as Australia calls it a multiple earth neutral system to a shore power supply that is set up with a direct earth and separate neutral.

So I have a three phase generator, with a joint neutral earth on the vessel. While in port I need to connect the to a three phase system with a separate earth and neutral otherwise connecting the neutral to earth causes shore supply to trip due to the present voltage, I would not be keen on running the vessel with only a neutral, unless I bonded the hull as well? How would this affect the safety trips etc? Presuming all bonding on the vessel is in good condition and correctly wired?

Or are there any ways to take the combined neutral earth and separate it after the switchboard before the shore supply connection?

Thanks for any help/advice!
