Arco Zeus Alternator Regulator

Model Zeus

High-energy external alternator regulator. Drives a high-output alternator's field and integrates with a Victron Lynx Smart BMS NG over VE.Can / NMEA 2000 (DVCC) plus an ATC enable. Powered from the battery through small fuses; carries no main charge current itself.

01 — Reference run

A sizing result with its assumptions attached.

Conductor16 AWG1.5 mm²
Fuse1 Apositive run
Voltage drop0.3%9.8 ft one way
Design current0.5 A12 V system

Sized against ABYC E-11 — the US reference, and what Transport Canada accepts as an alternative to TP 1332 for pleasure craft under 24 m. The design current is the part's continuous draw. The Crimp engine applies its ordinary continuous-load headroom, voltage-drop budget, terminal clamp, and standard fuse ladder. The 9.8 ft one-way run is a stated reference, not a universal installation prescription.

03 — Supporting parts

What belongs around it.

  • 19.7 ft total of 16 AWG (1.5 mm²) marine cable
  • Four 16 AWG cable lugs matched to the equipment studs
  • 1 A fuse and holder on the positive run
  • Heat-shrink, strain relief, and terminal boots sized to the cable

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 — the US reference, and what Transport Canada accepts as an alternative to TP 1332 for pleasure craft under 24 m. The published conductor, fuse and voltage-drop result uses the visible reference length and current basis; it is not a universal installation prescription.
