The shore power unit LAE 234 LG from Philippi is a switch panel for the AC onboard power system of yachts. It combines, protects, and monitors shore power (230 V/50 Hz) and a generator via a switch. It fits into the Series 200 circuit breaker distribution system and connects via rear terminals.
- One panel for two power sources: safe switching between shore power and onboard generator without additional wiring
- Complete protection of the AC onboard power system via RCBO and four separate circuits instead of just one central circuit breaker
- Immediate control of the network status via 3 network indicator lights and AC voltmeter, no need for a multimeter
- Back-of-hand-safe terminal design for secure installation even in limited space behind the switch panel
In everyday yachting, the LAE 234 LG plays a central role in shore power supply: when docking, the shore-generator changeover switch selects between shore connection or marina connection and the yacht's own generator, without having to replug connectors. The RCBO circuit breaker (16 A/30 mA) provides overall protection for the supply, while four double-pole thermal circuit breakers (10 A, 230 V/50 Hz) separately disconnect the individual 230 V consumer circuits. Three network indicator lights and the integrated AC voltmeter show at all times whether shore power or the generator is active and at what voltage.
Since the shore power unit is designed to fit precisely with the Series 200 circuit distribution panels, it can be integrated into existing Philippi switch panels. The rear electrical construction is designed to be back-of-hand safe; nevertheless, the rear must only be accessible with tools and covered when installed. If the supply point is more than 3 m away, the supply cable must also be protected with an MCB circuit breaker (e.g., LAE 205) near the supply point. Versions with higher current ratings are available upon request.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the shore-generator changeover switch do?
It enables switching between shore power and generator as the power source for the AC onboard system without changing the wiring.
Is additional protection needed?
If the distance to the supply point is more than 3 m, the supply cable must also be protected with an MCB circuit breaker (e.g., LAE 205).
Is the LAE 234 LG also suitable for vehicles?
Yes, the optional labeling set for vehicles (SKZ-MOBIL) is available for this purpose; the standard delivery includes the SKZ set for boats.
Does the LAE 234 LG fit my circuit distribution panel?
Yes, it is designed to fit the Series 200 circuit distribution panels and connects via rear terminals.
