AS/NZS 3004.2: Marine Air Conditioning Definition
The Australian standard covering electrical installations on boats. Fixed 240 V work is an electrician’s job.
AS/NZS 3004.2 in a Boat Air Conditioning System
A self-contained unit may be a weekend for a competent owner. Its shore-power circuit is not — a dedicated circuit, an RCD and correctly rated cable, installed by a licensed electrician. A quote that neither includes the electrical work nor excludes it is the one to ask about.
Using AS/NZS 3004.2 Specifications in Quotes and Manuals
Use this definition to understand a quote, manual or fault report—not as an instruction to modify the boat. Before buying, compare the wording against the current manufacturer documentation. For refrigerant, fixed 240 V wiring or below-waterline work, use the official licensing and standards sources and an appropriately qualified tradesperson.
Start with the complete system guide for context, or check the owner questions for plain-language answers. Technical information can change or be wrong; the disclaimer explains the limits.
