Deine Fragen / Unsere Antworte

Which IP protection class do I need for electrical components in the cockpit or outdoors?
For direct outdoor use, i.e. cockpit, deck or areas exposed to splash water, you should plan for at least IP66, or better IP67. IP67 means that the component can be temporarily submerged up to one meter - this provides sufficient reserve if a wave comes over the deck.
How do I find out which cable cross-section I need for a new consumer?
The required cross-section depends on the current strength and the cable length - the longer the cable and the higher the current, the thicker the cable must be to avoid voltage losses. As a rough rule of thumb: For short cables up to approx. 3 m and consumers up to 10 A, 1.5 mm² is often sufficient; for longer distances or currents, you should consult a cable cross-section table.
Can I also use automotive consumers on my boat?
This often works in the short term, but is not a good long-term solution. Automotive electrics are not designed for permanent moisture and salt exposure - plugs, switches and fuse holders corrode significantly faster than marine versions. For safety-relevant consumers such as bilge pumps or navigation lights, you should always use components specifically approved for boat operation.
Where is the best place to put the fuse for a new circuit?
The fuse should be placed as close as possible to the power source, i.e. to the battery or distributor - not just before the consumer. This way, the entire cable length is protected and in the event of a fault, the short circuit is reliably interrupted before the cable is damaged.
