Control Panels.
Developed and manufactured in Remseck.

philippi switch panels combine switching and protection in one component: every circuit has a thermal circuit breaker that is simply switched back on after tripping. philippi has been developing and manufacturing them in Remseck am Neckar, Germany, since 1978, in three series for the 12 V and 24 V on-board networks of boats and vehicles.

Switch panels for boats and vehicles: switch panels by philippi

A switch panel distributes the power of the on-board battery to the individual loads and protects every circuit. philippi builds its switch panels in Remseck am Neckar for 12 and 24 V systems in yachts, motorhomes and vehicles: compact in the 100 series, with rocker circuit breakers in the 200 series and waterproof for outdoor use in the 700 series.

In short: Plan as many circuits as you have load groups, plus 20 to 30 percent spare. Single-pole versions are sufficient for GRP boats; on aluminium and steel vessels, choose the double-pole models with the suffix -2p.

Questions about switch panels.

To the Academy

What is the difference between Series 100 and Series 200?

The Series 200 has larger E-T-A 3130 rocker circuit breakers instead of the E-T-A 1140 push-button breakers, a standard rating of 10 A instead of 8 A and up to 24 instead of 12 circuits per panel. It is also available in two-pole form for aluminium and steel boats. Both series can be combined.

Which switch panel belongs outdoors?

The Series 700 is intended for cockpit and flybridge. It is waterproof to IP 66 from the operating side, and the symbols are laser-engraved into the rockers. Series 100 and 200 belong in protected interior areas, for example at the chart table.

Do I need additional fuses?

Not for the individual load circuits, because each circuit has a thermal circuit breaker. The supply cable to the switch panel, however, like every cable, needs its own fuse at the source, i.e. at the battery or main distribution. It is rated according to the cross-section of the supply cable.

Is there a replacement for my old Bavaria switch panel?

Yes. The Bavaria refit panels 16, 20, 301 and 303 replace the factory-fitted panel 1:1: cut-out and plug connectors match the original, nothing is rewired. Which one fits depends on the existing panel, not on the year of build. If in doubt, send us a photo of the panel.
