Shore Power Cord 25m 32A/250Vac (3x6mm²)

A heavy-duty shore power cord for connecting boats, yachts and marine vessels to shore-side electrical supplies. Rated at 32A/250Vac with a 3x6mm² conductor cross-section, this 25-metre cable is suited to professional marina installations and live-aboard setups where a reliable, full-length shore connection is required.

Key Features

• 25-metre length provides reach from shore pedestal to vessel without extension leads.
• 32A current rating supports high-load onboard systems including battery chargers, air conditioning and galley equipment.
• 250Vac rated for standard single-phase shore power supplies.
• 3x6mm² conductor cross-section minimises resistive losses over the full cable length.
• Manufactured by Victron Energy, designed for use with Victron shore power inlets and compatible marine connectors.
• Cable weight of 10.5kg reflects the substantial copper conductor content and heavy-duty insulation.

Product Overview

Shore power cords carry mains AC power from a marina pedestal or shore-side supply directly to the vessel's inlet socket. At 25 metres, this cord covers the majority of berth configurations without requiring an intermediate extension. The 32A rating matches the capacity of standard marina 32A pedestals and is compatible with the IEC 60309 (CEE) connector format commonly used across UK and European marinas.

The 3x6mm² conductor cross-section is important at this length and current rating. A smaller conductor would introduce meaningful voltage drop across 25 metres at full load, which can affect charger performance and cause nuisance tripping. The 6mm² cross-section keeps resistive losses within acceptable limits for continuous 32A draw. This is a practical consideration for live-aboard vessels or those running large battery banks on overnight charge cycles.

Installation Notes

Shore power connections on vessels should be installed or inspected by a qualified marine electrician familiar with BS EN ISO 13297 or equivalent marine electrical standards. Ensure the vessel's shore power inlet is rated to accept 32A and that the onboard isolator and RCD protection are correctly specified. Do not use this cord with a shore supply that exceeds its 32A or 250Vac ratings. Inspect the cord, connectors and seals regularly for signs of wear, corrosion or water ingress, particularly in saltwater environments.
