1. An electrical system for a marine vessel, the electrical system comprising:
a power supply that produces an output voltage;
a plurality of powered devices electrically coupled to the power supply to receive a plurality of incoming voltages therefrom, respectively; and
an analysis module that determines a plurality of differences between the output voltage of the power supply and the plurality of incoming voltages received by the plurality of powered devices, respectively, wherein the analysis module further compares the plurality of differences to a first threshold and generates a first signal when at least one of the plurality of differences exceeds the first threshold, wherein the first signal causes generating an alert indicating which of the plurality of powered devices corresponds to exceeding the first threshold and changing an operation of the which of the plurality of powered devices corresponds to exceeding the first threshold while maintaining an operation of another powered device within the plurality of powered devices for which the first threshold is not exceeded.
