We used to be able to get EHU on the Oscar Wilde (Irish Ferries) for the 18 hour trip from Dublin to Cherbourg and more importantly for the return leg. It was not essential, but was useful in keeping the cheese and meats etc in good condition. We only exported teabags to the continent!
A new boat, W. B. Yeates, was put on the run about 2018. We continued to hook up when outlets were free, but on a few occasions the fridge defrosted en route. In fact on one run I thought perhaps my cable had been disconnected.
My current thoughts are that the fridge was not getting the full 230 volts. I have experienced this once or twice on a shared outlet and on a French site were I could not get the electric to function properly.
We have just returned today from a 3 week trip to France, and I did not bother with hook up either way. My question to those knowledgeable members is, will a prolonged period (18 hours) at less than 230 volts do any damage to the appliance?
Thanks,
Davy
