*Connection to an emergency power source is an IMO requirement for SOLAS
vessels.
The power supply current ratings and recommended fusing or circuit breaker
currents are as follows:
● A 12VDC supply should be able to provide a peak current of 6.0A
and be fused at 10.0A.
● A 24VDC supply should be able to provide a peak current of 4.0A
and should be fused at 6.3A.
