Abstract
Systems, methods, and devices for current monitoring and power control for utility vehicles are disclosed. A control device for directing current to utility vehicle auxiliary devices, such as an inverter and a front bumper winch, may be coupled to the utility vehicle battery. The control device may have an input terminal for coupling to the utility vehicle battery and one or more output terminals coupled to the utility vehicle auxiliary devices. The input terminal may receive current from the battery. The control device may control the flow of current to each of the output terminals. Sensors may detect the current flowing through the control device to detect if either a low current short or a high current short may occur, and corrective action may be taken in response to detecting an abnormal current.
