Maximum current / load

The YachtSense DCS-Series Digital Control System includes thermal protection that will reduce the maximum current available based on the systems’s ambient temperature.

Note

The graph below shows the maximum current based on ambient temperature, when the system is in continuous use. For shorter duty cycles there will be less of a reduction in available current at higher temperatures.

Important

  • To protect your vessel and connected equipment, modules will shut down if their internal temperature exceeds 85°C.

  • If your system will exceed these limits please consult Raymarine technical support for assistance.
