Single-pole or double-pole switching: when 2p is necessary
Metal hull, damp environment, separate onboard power circuits: when a two-pole system is mandatory. What it costs in terms of space and wiring, and how the hull potential can be...
Distribute circuits to the panelboard: number and rated currents
Which four criteria justify a separate circuit, how much reserve is sensible — and why the nominal current of the circuit breaker is determined by the wiring, not the consumer.
Choosing the Right Monitor Level: TCS, BTM 2, PSM 3, or PSL
Four expansion stages, from a simple voltmeter to a system monitor. The crucial threshold is not the display size, but the P-bus capability.
Series 100, 200 or 700: which control panel goes where
Installation location, space requirements, and modularity are the deciding factors between the three series. Includes decision-making questions, notes on mixing different series, and a checklist before ordering.
