Delius Klasing Book On-Board Electrics Basics & Applications, Handbook for On-Board Electricians, revised edition with new technology trends

Hardly any other technology has developed as rapidly in recent years as on-board electrical systems. High-current consumers such as anchor winches, bow thrusters, and inverters, as well as sensitive electronic devices such as GPS and electronic nautical charts, present on-board electrical systems with entirely new challenges. This book is aimed at both novices and experienced on-board electricians. The first part presents the necessary fundamentals in a straightforward and practical manner, while the second part illustrates concrete applications in all areas of on-board electrical systems. It includes tried-and-tested concepts for the entire DC and AC power distribution system, as well as directly implementable sample circuits (e.g., for navigation light monitoring), energy management, and engine control. Since the publication of international standards for DC and AC systems on watercraft, there is no longer a free hand when it comes to on-board electrical systems. If the installation does not correspond to the "state of the art," insurance coverage is jeopardized, and manufacturers are prohibited from affixing the CE mark to the vehicle. Here, you'll learn everything you need to know to comply with standards: from cable color to shore connection design. The book has been completely revised, with new chapters and numerous photos and graphics. New technology trends that may soon become reality demonstrate what the onboard electrical system of the future will look like. A comprehensive directory helps you find the right materials.

Revised edition with 224 pages. 176 photos, 80 two-color illustrations, 14.8 x 21 cm format, paperback.
