After finding and correcting the cause of the overload, reset the circuit breaker by pressing

OVERLOAD PROTECTION FOR THE DC VOLTAGE REGULATOR SYSTEM, IF EQUIPPED
If the vessel is equipped with a 24‑volt system, a DC voltage regulator is required to supply
12‑volt power to the VIP and the other 12‑volt circuits. The power package manufacturer
provides a protective fuse for the 24‑volt DC to 12‑volt DC voltage regulator system, if
equipped. The spade‑style, in‑line fuse is located in the harness between the voltage
regulator and the 24‑volt battery system. The fuse protects the wiring and the regulator
against overloads.
