The various breaker panels near the galley sink are designated:
- Panel 1: lower, next to the volt meter.
- Panel 2: upper, outboard to starboard
- Panel 3: upper, inboard of Panel 2
- Panel AC: lower, inboard of Panel 1 (all 120v AC breakers)
- Panel 4: very top
Many of the screws, terminals, and buss bars on these breakers are extremely corroded and some of the breakers will need to be replaced. Note that the breakers on Panel 4 are of a different make and look to be in good shape.
All the breakers have been removed from panels 1, 2, 3, and AC. The breakers are made by Wood Electric Co. Inc. and are part number 112-2NN-101, where NN is the number of amps for which the breaker is rated (for example, a 15-amp breaker is part 112-215-101). Wood Electric no longer exists, but a direct replacement part is manufactured by Tyco Electronics. The part number is W31-X2M1G-N, where N is again the breaker amperage rating. These can be found at Allied Electronics and other electrical distributors.
The existing breakers will be cleaned and tested. Ones that do not work will be replaced.
