ELECTRIC PLANT
Check that the motor tension corresponds to the electric plant on board. The following schedule shows the suggest minimum battery feeding the windlass , the minimum suggested cable
section and the proper circuit breaker to install on the power line.
MOTOR BATTERY CABLES SECTION CIRCUIT BREAKER
500 Watt 12 V 60 Ah 16 mm² 4 AWG 35 Amps
700 Watt 12 V 100 Ah 25 mm² 3 AWG 70 Amps
If the windlass is fed by an inferior battery , the performances will be worse and the battery will be subject rapidly to wear and tear. We recommend the use of excellent quality cables ,
insulated and heat resistant. It is important underline the cables section should be increased of 30% - 50% approx. if the length of the extended cable , positive and negative , is greater
than 10 mts. or 29' length. The cables connected to the electric controls , shown on the wiring diagram as a thin line , should have a section of 1.5 mm² or 16 AWG approx. Circuit breaker
informations referring only to LOFRANS’ circuit breaker so they could be incorrect for other circuit breakers.
The circuit breaker protects from very dangerous short circuits , protects the windlass motor , avoiding damages due to anomalous absorption and interrupts tension to windlass , when
desired. The circuit breaker must be installed in a dry , accessible and visible position . For safety reasons we recommend that the windlass and remote are isolated during navigation and
reactivated during anchorage manoeuvring. Install the Control Box preferably in a dry place on board. We recommend to install at least two remote control to drive the windlass in case one
of them gets damaged. Install a circuit breaker of 5 Ampere to protect the electric remote controls.
As for the electric remote controls , we recommend You to use original LOFRANS' components only , which are designed for sea water purpose. LOFRANS equipment conforms to
