Current Distributor



9789 - Current Distributor

The vehicle electrical system is split into different areas by way of a current distributor which, as on the previous Boxster/S (986) and the 911 Carrera (996), is installed on the front wall under the dashboard in the front passenger footwell. Splitting up the electrical system and connecting individual areas of the system directly to the positive terminal of the battery reduces the harmonic content of the alternator substantially and provides short circuit protection for the individual main circuits. Alternating interference injections are additionally minimized.
