Electrical

The electrical installation is typical for this type of sailing boats.

Power (230V) from the shore via a Victron Palace converter is brought into the Battery Splitter, as well as the output of the dynamo from the Yanmar engine.

This output of the Battery Splitter charges the engine start battery, the bow thruster battery and the leisure batteries.

The leisure batteries are mainly charged by the 200W solar panels via a MPPT charger.
