AC Panels.
Shore power units and mains monitoring for 230 V
philippi AC switch panels are panel-mount units for the 230 V side of the on-board system. They take in shore power, protect it in line with standards with an RCBo circuit breaker and distribute it to protected load circuits. All units are dimensionally matched to the philippi Series 200 circuit distributors.

In brief: If your DC switch panel is already built in the Series 200, the 230 V equipment goes right next to it in the same format. Shore power unit, load circuits and mains indicator thus fit into a continuous row of panels instead of sitting in a separate housing elsewhere.
Standard-compliant shore power: the RCBo
For the 230 V shore connection on boats, DIN EN ISO 13297 requires double-pole circuit protection and a residual current device with a 30 mA tripping current. An RCBo combines both in one device: it protects people against residual currents and the installation against overload and short circuit. The shore power units in this category work with a 16 A / 30 mA RCBo. How shore power, changeover and galvanic isolation work together is explained on the topic page Shore power on boats.
The units at a glance
LAE 232 – shore power unit with 16 A / 30 mA RCBo, mains indicator and two double-pole 10 A thermal circuit breakers for AC 230 V / 50 Hz. Connection via rear terminals; the rear construction is finger-safe. Dimensions W 105 × H 210 × D 100 mm.
LAE 235 – shore power unit with 16 A / 30 mA RCBo, mains indicator and Schuko socket. For integration as a single unit into an existing Series 200 panel row.
LAE 236 – expansion panel with six circuits, each with a double-pole 10 A thermal rocker circuit breaker for AC 230 V / 50 Hz. Dimensions W 105 × H 210 × D 70 mm. The LAE 236 has no RCBo of its own and requires upstream RCBo protection, for example from an LAE 232 or LAE 235.
LAE 233 and the LAE 234 variants (LG, LGW, LGK) add further configurations in the same panel-mount format; the LAE 234 LGK is intended for operation with a combi inverter. The exact equipment is stated on each product page.
LAR – mains control panel indicating the mains status.
A rear cover must be provided on site for all panel-mount units.

Frequently asked questions. Answered briefly.
Do the AC panels fit into my existing Series 200 switch panel?
Yes. The units are dimensioned to match the Series 200 circuit distributors and fit into existing panel rows, so that the DC and 230 V sides form one visual unit. Connection is made via terminals on the rear. A rear cover must be provided on site so that the 230 V connections are protected against contact.
Do I need an additional RCBO unit with the LAE 236?
Yes, it is mandatory. The LAE 236 is purely an extension panel with six two-pole 10 A circuit breakers and has no residual current protection of its own. It may only be operated downstream of an RCBO, for example an LAE 232 or LAE 235. This keeps all six circuits protected by the 30 mA personal protection.
What is the difference between AC switch panels and AC shore power units?
The AC switch panels are panel-mounted units in Series 200 format that are integrated into a switch panel. The AC shore power units category also offers standalone units in a housing, for example for splash-protected mounting locations. Automatic changeover units for shore power, generator and inverter can be found in the source selector category.
Which standard applies to the shore power connection?
For the 230 V side on boats, DIN EN ISO 13297 applies. It requires two-pole cable protection and residual current protection with a tripping current of no more than 30 mA at the shore connection. The 16 A / 30 mA RCBO circuit breaker used in the LAE 232 and LAE 235 units meets both requirements in a single device.
