Electrical Installations

An incorrectly designed electrical installation may
generate leakage current from the electrical system.
Leakage current can in turn render galvanic protection
inadequate in respect of propellers, propeller shafts,
rudder posts, the keel etc., and may cause damage
through electrochemical corrosion.
