Ground
Grounding guidelines:
• The ground wire (local supply) should be 2sq or higher.
• The length of the ground wire should be as short as possible.
• For an FRP vessel, fasten a 20 cm30 cm earthing plate to the outside of the ship’s
hull and attach the ground wire to a bolt on the plate.
• Attach a closed-end lug ( ) to the ground wire. Do not use an open-end lug
().
• External equipment whose signal line is connected to ground cannot be directly
connected to this equipment if the positive polarity of the vessel’s DC power is con-
nected to ground.

ference to the radar and other equipment can
result.
