Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International
Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 10133 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 188, Small craft.
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition (ISO 10133:2000), which has been technically revised.

4 General requirements
4.1 The system type shall be either a fully insulated two-wire d.c. system or a two-wire d.c. system with
negative ground. Engine-mounted wiring systems can use the engine block as the grounded conductor.
For d.c. systems with a negative ground, the main grounding/earthing point shall be either:
a) the engine negative terminal; or
b) a main grounding bus of sufficient current-carrying capacity.
The hull shall not be used as a current-carrying conductor.
Systems with multiple battery banks shall have a common negative connection. Exceptions to this are for
dedicated electrical systems isolated from a boat system, e.g. electric propulsion systems that are clearly
identified as part of the isolated system.
4.2 An equipotential bonding conductor, if fitted, shall be connected to the craft’s main grounding/earthing point.
4.3 All manually operated switches and controls shall be marked to indicate their use, unless the purpose of
the switch is obvious and mistaken operation of it will not cause a hazardous condition.
4.4 Protective devices such as trip-free circuit breakers or fuses shall be provided at the source of power,
e.g. the panel board (switchboard), to interrupt any overload current in the circuit conductors before heat can
damage conductor insulation, connections or wiring system terminals.
4.5 The selection, arrangement and performance characteristics shall be such that:
a) there is a maximum continuity of service to healthy circuits where fault conditions exist in other circuits
through selective operation of the various protective devices; and
b) electrical equipment and circuits are protected from damage due to overcurrents by coordination of the
electrical characteristics of the circuit or apparatus and the tripping characteristics of the protective devices.
4.6 All d.c. equipment shall be capable of function within a voltage range of 75 % to 133 % of nominal voltage
at the battery terminals, e.g.:
— for a 12 V system: 9 V to 16 V;
— for a 24 V system: 18 V to 32 V;
— for a 48 V system: 36 V to 64 V.
EXCEPTION Where the circuit includes equipment requiring a higher minimum voltage, the specified
minimum voltage shall be used in the calculation of the conductor size. See Annex A.
4.7 The length and cross-sectional area of conductors in each circuit shall be such that the calculated voltage
drop does not exceed 10 % of the nominal voltage.

NOTE See Annex C for voltage drop calculations.
Circuits that typically require a 3 % voltage drop include:
a) panel board/switchboard main conductors;
b) navigation lights;
c) bilge blowers;
d) bilge pumps; and
e) other equipment vital to safety or where voltage drop should be kept to a minimum as specified by their
manufacturer.
5 Batteries
5.1 Batteries shall be permanently installed in a dry, ventilated location above anticipated bilge water level.
5.2 Batteries shall be installed in a manner to restrict their movement horizontally and vertically considering
the intended use of the craft, including trailering if applicable. A battery, as installed, shall not move more than
10 mm in any direction when exposed to a force corresponding to twice the battery weight.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International
Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 10133 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 188, Small craft.
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition (ISO 10133:2000), which has been technically revised.

3.16
two-wire d.c. system with negative ground (earth)
system in which the d.c. negative is connected to the ground through a metallic hull, the propulsion system

4 General requirements
4.1 The system type shall be either a fully insulated two-wire d.c. system or a two-wire d.c. system with
negative ground. Engine-mounted wiring systems can use the engine block as the grounded conductor.
For d.c. systems with a negative ground, the main grounding/earthing point shall be either:
a) the engine negative terminal; or
b) a main grounding bus of sufficient current-carrying capacity.
The hull shall not be used as a current-carrying conductor.
Systems with multiple battery banks shall have a common negative connection. Exceptions to this are for
dedicated electrical systems isolated from a boat system, e.g. electric propulsion systems that are clearly
identified as part of the isolated system.
4.2 An equipotential bonding conductor, if fitted, shall be connected to the craft’s main grounding/earthing point.
4.3 All manually operated switches and controls shall be marked to indicate their use, unless the purpose of
the switch is obvious and mistaken operation of it will not cause a hazardous condition.
4.4 Protective devices such as trip-free circuit breakers or fuses shall be provided at the source of power,
e.g. the panel board (switchboard), to interrupt any overload current in the circuit conductors before heat can
damage conductor insulation, connections or wiring system terminals.
4.5 The selection, arrangement and performance characteristics shall be such that:
a) there is a maximum continuity of service to healthy circuits where fault conditions exist in other circuits
through selective operation of the various protective devices; and
b) electrical equipment and circuits are protected from damage due to overcurrents by coordination of the
electrical characteristics of the circuit or apparatus and the tripping characteristics of the protective devices.
4.6 All d.c. equipment shall be capable of function within a voltage range of 75 % to 133 % of nominal voltage
at the battery terminals, e.g.:
— for a 12 V system: 9 V to 16 V;
— for a 24 V system: 18 V to 32 V;
— for a 48 V system: 36 V to 64 V.

minimum voltage shall be used in the calculation of the conductor size. See Annex A.
4.7 The length and cross-sectional area of conductors in each circuit shall be such that the calculated voltage
drop does not exceed 10 % of the nominal voltage.

5 Batteries
5.1 Batteries shall be permanently installed in a dry, ventilated location above anticipated bilge water level.
5.2 Batteries shall be installed in a manner to restrict their movement horizontally and vertically considering
the intended use of the craft, including trailering if applicable. A battery, as installed, shall not move more than
10 mm in any direction when exposed to a force corresponding to twice the battery weight.
5.3 Batteries as installed in the craft shall be capable of inclinations of up to 30° without leakage of electrolyte.
Means shall be provided in monohull sailing craft for containment of any spilled electrolyte up to inclinations of 45°.
5.4 Batteries shall be installed, designed or protected so that metallic objects cannot come into unintentional
contact with any battery terminal.
5.5 Batteries, as installed, shall be protected ag
