Arrangement and Planning, Electrochemical Corrosion Volvo Penta ACP (Active Corrosion Protection) pro- tects against galvanic corrosion by controlling an elec- tric current that is monitored by the EVC. It is preferable to connect the boat to shore supply, if such is available. If shore power is unavailable, ACP utilizes the batteries, as it is connected to the boat's 12 V/24 V system.

88890074 Multimeter 21504294 Reference electrode Measuring galvanic current and stray current in water Volvo Penta has developed a method for measuring 21504294 Reference electrode galvanic current and stray current in water using a ref- erence electrode. 21504294 Reference electrode (Ag/AgCl) is con- nected to 88890074 Multimeter.
10 times higher than protection afforded by following traditional scantling rules. IMPORTANT! The Volvo Penta IPS is designed to function as an integrated part of the hull and laminate structure. The strength of the entire system is dependant on the inte- grated strength of the IPS and the hull and laminate structure.
