01 — Reference run

A sizing result with its assumptions attached.

Conductor70 mm²2/0 AWG
Fuse200 Apositive run
Voltage drop1.9%3 m one way
Design current150 A12 V system

Sized against ABYC E-11. Boats built to UK or EU rules answer to ISO 13297 — check these figures against it before you build. The design current is the unit's rated output. The Crimp engine applies its ordinary continuous-load headroom, voltage-drop budget, terminal clamp, and standard fuse ladder. The 3 m one-way run is a stated reference, not a universal installation prescription.

03 — Supporting parts

What belongs around it.

  • 6 m total of 70 mm² (2/0 AWG) marine cable
  • Four 70 mm² cable lugs matched to the equipment studs
  • 200 A fuse and holder on the positive run
  • Heat-shrink, strain relief, and terminal boots sized to the cable

04 — Method & provenance

What is known, assumed, and computed.

Catalog profile

The manufacturer, model, ratings and terminal map are maintained as planning data in Crimp's component catalog. Confirm the current manufacturer manual, exact revision and installed nameplate before ordering or wiring.

Engine reference

Sized against ABYC E-11. Boats built to UK or EU rules answer to ISO 13297 — check these figures against it before you build. The published conductor, fuse and voltage-drop result uses the visible reference length and current basis; it is not a universal installation prescription.
