What the catalog says
Manufacturer, model, ratings and which terminal does what come from the catalog. A newer revision, or the nameplate on the unit in your hand, can say something different — when it does, the nameplate wins.

Victron BatteryProtect 100 wiring diagram
Review the Victron BatteryProtect 100 catalog ratings and AC connection points, then add the generator to your Crimp diagram.
Open this example as a new project. Use your own parts and cable lengths to make the plan yours.
About this terminal map
This page shows a terminal map. Opening it in Crimp starts a new project with the generator placed on its own, ready for you to add the equipment it supplies.
The map identifies line, neutral and protective-earth connections. This page does not calculate an AC cable size or protection rating.
Wiring diagram
How the BP-100 is wired.
Open this example in Crimp to use your own parts and cable lengths. Review the assumptions and installation notes as you adapt the circuit.
Build it out
Connect it to the rest of your system.
Add BatteryProtect 100 to your diagram, then connect your batteries, chargers and loads. Crimp calculates cable sizes and checks the connections as you draw.
Every cable you draw there is sized against ABYC E-11, from the same tables as the reference on this page.
Technical reference
Specifications, terminals and supporting parts.
Check the model, ratings and connection points against your own unit before choosing installation hardware.
Catalog specification
The map identifies line, neutral and protective-earth connections. This page does not calculate an AC cable size or protection rating.
Supporting parts
- A lug or terminal to match each post on the part
- Strain relief and boots so nothing chafes or shorts
- Cable and fuses sized once the whole system is drawn
Check stud sizes, fuse type, run length and how warm the space gets against the gear you actually have before you order.

Method & provenance
Where the specifications and sizing come from.
Manufacturer specifications describe the equipment. Crimp calculates cable results from the circuit and assumptions you enter.
ABYC E-11
What Crimp worked out
Sized against ABYC E-11. Boats built to UK or EU rules answer to ISO 13297 — check these figures against it before you build. The run length and the current above are what drive the result. Crimp doesn't know how warm your space gets; draw the cable inside an engine-bay zone on the canvas and it sizes for the heat.
Next step
Plan your installation with BP-100.
Open this example as a new project. Add your equipment and cable lengths, then review the sizing and checks for your setup.
