Vetus BPSPE Series/Parallel Switch for 24 Volt Thruster with 12 Volt Main Power Supply

Vetus BPSPE Series/Parallel Switch for 24 Volt Thruster with 12 Volt Main Power Supply

The Vetus BPSPE Series/Parallel Switch is an essential component designed to provide seamless integration between a 24 Volt thruster system and a 12 Volt main power supply. This innovative switch allows two 12V batteries to power a 24V thruster, ensuring consistent, trouble-free performance and efficient operation of your vessel's propulsion system.

Main Features:

• Series/Parallel Switch: Enables the use of two 12V batteries to power a 24V thruster, making it an ideal solution for vessels with a 12V power network.
• Automatic Battery Configuration: Automatically connects the batteries in series for 24V thruster operation and switches them in parallel for 12V battery charging.
• Compatibility: Designed specifically for thrusters with 160 kgf and 220 kgf (DC 24V). Not suitable for use as starters or for powering anchor winches.
• Current Handling: Can withstand a continuous current of up to 100 A and brief current surges of up to 150 A.
• Electromagnetic Compatibility: Designed to ensure compatibility with other electrical systems on board, minimizing the risk of interference.

The Vetus BPSPE Series/Parallel Switch is a vital component for ensuring that your 24V thruster operates smoothly when powered by a 12V main power supply. By automatically managing the battery connection, this switch eliminates the need for manual intervention, providing safe, reliable, and efficient power delivery to the thruster. Additionally, it allows for battery charging from the 12V storage, making it an ideal solution for vessels with a 12V electrical system.
