For vessels with limited generator capacity or where minimizing peak electrical load is preferred, an optional Low-Power Spool mode can be selected on the display&#8217;s Settings page. This mode reduces the startup power demand to only 2300 W, which increases the time required for the flywheel to reach operating speed.
