In electrical systems involving DC motors—specifically in applications like DC thrusters from Vetus—and solenoids, low voltage can lead to operational inefficiencies and even permanent damage. DC thrusters, like other motors, are particularly sensitive to voltage drops, inadequate wiring, and insufficient power supply.
Additionally, Vetus thrusters are equipped with built-in thermal protection (a thermo switch) that automatically cuts off operation if the motor gets too warm. This feature helps prevent overheating and extends the life of the motor, but it's still crucial to avoid conditions that could trigger the thermal switch, such as low voltage caused by faulty wiring or improper battery selection.

This is described in your engine manual, but here are the recommendations that apply 01.11.2022Fuel Quality Grade
Use only diesel fuel or diesel blends with up to 7% FAME (B7), with less
than 0.5% sulphur content of which the quality is fully controlled and
conform the standards below.
The following fuel specifications / standards are approved:- CEN EN 590:2009
- ASTM D975-09
Don’t use fuel with more than 1% sulfur!
The cetane number must be at least 49.The exhaust emission levels determined during certification by the supervising authority are always based on the reference fuel described by law. These fuels match the diesel fuels which are in accordance with CEN EN 590 andASTM D 975. Emission levels cannot be guaranteed with o
