For larger systems introduce power at central point in the backbone to "balance" the voltage drop of the network. Ú Note: If joining to an existing NMEA 2000 network that already has its own power supply, do not make another power connection elsewhere in the network, and ensure the existing network is not powered by 24 V DC.
