The Vetus BP3008 Series/Parallel Switch enables installation of a 48V bow thruster (e.g. BOW28548) in vessels with a 24V battery/charging system by automatically reconfiguring battery banks. It switches two 24V battery banks in series for 48V thruster operation and reconnects them in parallel for charging and standard 24V supply.

Vetus BP3008 Automatic Series/Parallel Switch for 48V Thruster Systems
The Vetus BP3008 Series/Parallel Switch simplifies installation of 48V bow thrusters on vessels with a 24V battery system. By reconfiguring battery banks between series (for thruster operation) and parallel (for charging and normal 24V loads), this unit makes it possible to use powerful 48V thrusters without altering the vessel’s existing charging system. The switch comes ready with pre-assembled auxiliary relays, ensuring easy and safe installation.
Specification Value Model / Article BP3008 Intended Use 48V Bow Thruster (e.g. BOW28548) with 24V battery/charging system Batteries Configuration Two 24V battery banks switched in series (operation) / parallel (charging) Automatic Switching Yes — series ↔ parallel depending on thruster use / charging Auxiliary Relays Pre-assembled for simplified installation Supply Voltage Supported 24V battery system (input), outputs 48V for thruster Compliance Designed for use with Vetus 48V thrusters, meets EMC requirements
Key Features
- Automatic switching between series and parallel battery configurations
- Allows use of 48V bow thrusters on vessels with 24V battery systems
- Pre-assembled relays simplify wiring and installation
- Compact switch unit — convenient placement near battery bank
- Reliable and safe operation for marine power systems
Typical Application Scenario
- 48V bow thruster installation (e.g. BOW28548) on boats with existing 24V battery/charging system
- Retrofitting older vessels without the need to convert full electrical system to 48V
- Installation where separate 48V battery bank is not available or practical
Note: Ensure correct battery configuration and wiring. The BP3008 must be used in compliance with Vetus guidelines to guarantee safe and reliable operation.
