Maritimesailor,

Sorry you disagree with the Coast Guard answer, I can't control that. This is the latest and up-to-date question and answer released by the NMC. Please forward your comments to the NMC at iasknmc@uscg.mil. USCGQ is as up-to-date as much as the NMC can give us.

The Answer here is 832 Volts. Does anyone maintain this website?

I didn't know it was even possible to feed both sides of a transformer simultaneously? I don't understand the formula, mechanics, or purpose of connecting to A1-B1-B2, and I also don't see a reference to this question in the USCG Electricity question databank, so perhaps this is a typo?
