- 12 & 24V DC power systems
- Carling Technologies Curvette Rocker Switches
- Overcurrent protection via ATC Standard fuses
Installing the MPower Bypass Module (CBMD12) in conjunction with the MPower 12-Channel DC Load Controller Module (CLMD12) provides owners/ operators with the ability to manually control individual loads locally with a simple flip of a switch. The CBMD12 utilizes standard fuses for overcurrent protection and 12 Carling Curvette Marine Rocker Switches for manual control of each load. One of the most popular styles used in general electrical applications Curvette Rocker Switches are designed for extreme environments corrosion temperature vibration shock and more. Extremely robust Curvette switches are designed to last a minimum of 100 000 actuation cycles. This is a more reliable safer and simpler process than physically moving a fuse while manually overriding a circuit.
It’s important to ensure that the current rating of the fuse for each load is appropriate to protect the load and the wiring for that load. Please note that the Bypass Module does not support paralleled outputs since each circuit is controlled by a separate switch. Additionally the Bypass Module does not support dimming of circuits.
