Dock Electrical Safety Tips

Marine living is a wonderful privilege we have as Florida residents. Having a dock also comes with more responsibility and upkeep. Here are some helpful tips and things to check for all homeowners with docks.

Set Up a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI)

A GFCI is a type of circuit breaker that shuts down the electrical flow when it detects an anomaly in the incoming and outgoing current.
This device is unconditionally important for every dock. Despite routine electrical checks, you must still install a GFCI in your dock as a precautionary measure.

Under the law, all docks must be outfitted with a fast-acting circuit breaker. In case of an electrical problem (equipment or wiring), this device will counter within 1/40 of a second to keep everybody in the dock safe.

Test the GFCI Regularly

Making sure that the GFCI in your dock is at its optimum condition should be on the priority list. Experts advise to have it checked at least every 3 months by a local fire code professional. If a malfunction is detected, do not use electricity in the dock until it is fixed. A licensed electrician from Sunrise Electric can come down to your dock for a scheduled or emergency GFCI checkup.

Fix Some Bonding Jumpers

Bonding jumpers are electrical conductors that prevent dangerous interruption in the electrical flow.

In a dock, these connect all the metallic parts to an assigned ground rod that is placed on the shore. This allows proper ground, which ensures that electrical charges from the dock will signal the GFCI to shut down the power supply immediately.

Bonding jumpers may look straightforward, but they should still be installed by a highly-trained electrician.

Speak with Your Neighbors

In spite of all the safety measures that you take, shock hazard can still exist if your neighboring docks are not as cautious. Share your knowledge on electrical safety with the owners of nearby docks.

Always Use Quality Materials

Low-quality materials tend to be inefficient, especially when faced with the harsh marine environment. Water, sun, wind, just to name a few can produce extreme wear and tear. And that is the last thing that you want, particularly when it comes to safety.

With every electrical product that you use, make sure that is has UL Label. The UL Label is a proof that the electrical product has passed the standards set by the Underwriters Laboratories, which is a global safety certification company.

Never Go for DIY Installation

Poor installation of any electrical component is a risk for accidents, even if it’s just a slight error. It doesn’t matter how many video tutorials you watched: as long as you are not a licensed electrician, you should not be installing any electrical component.

Hire a licensed electrical contractor to install your GFCI, lighting, switches, panels, receptacles, and bonding jumpers.

Never Skimp on Inspections

After a professional installation, it is now your responsibility to keep the dock as safe as possible. However, the electrical components in the dock will weather due to constant exposure to heat, friction, water, and other elements. Accidents can still happen if any of these components reaches its breaking point.

Avoid that by hiring a professional electrician to inspect the dock’s entire electric system. Schedule an inspection at least every 6 months, or as often as needed.

Don’t Go Near the Dock after an Accident and Calamity

Certain accidents and calamities may damage the circuit breakers and expose live wires. Call a licensed electrical contractor to check the condition of your dock’s electrical system first. Only come to the dock after the licensed electrician gives a go signal.
