Switchboards Series 100

Philippi STV Series 100 Circuit Distributors – Reliable DC Switch Panel for Boats, Yachts & RVs

The Philippi Series 100 circuit distributors are compact DC switch panels designed for installation in protected interior areas of boats, sailing yachts, motorboats, and RVs. Each individual circuit consists of a thermal circuit breaker, an LED indicator light, and a rocker switch. This integrates switching and protection on the panel – without separate fuses.

Briefly explained: The Philippi STV Series 100 combines switches and thermal circuit breakers in each circuit – if a consumer fails due to a short circuit, the LED no longer lights up and the red button pops out. After resolving the fault, the circuit is immediately ready for operation again by pressing the button.

What is the Philippi STV Series 100 and what is it used for?

The Philippi STV Series 100 is a DC switch panel for the distribution and protection of onboard power circuits in 12V and 24V onboard electrical systems. It is designed for installation in protected interior areas – typically below deck on sailing yachts and motorboats, at the helm, or in the switch cabinet of RVs and vehicles.

The Series 100 circuit distributors are equipped with E-T-A 1140 series thermal circuit breakers. The 8 A types are installed as standard; upon request, 4 A, 6 A, 8 A, 10 A, 12 A, or 16 A breakers can be used at no extra charge.

How does the thermal circuit breaker of the Series 100 work?

In the event of a short circuit, the red button of the thermal circuit breaker pops out and the indicator light goes out. By pressing the red button, the circuit can be put back into operation after the fault has been cleared. No fuse replacement is necessary – the circuit breaker is permanently reusable.

This is a decisive advantage, especially on board: no searching for spare fuses at sea, no tools necessary, immediate recommissioning after troubleshooting.

Frequently asked questions about the Philippi STV Series 100

What happens in case of a short circuit with the Series 100? The red button of the thermal circuit breaker pops out and the LED indicator light goes out. After clearing the fault, the circuit is reactivated by simply pressing the red button – no fuse replacement is necessary.

In what current ratings are the circuit breakers available? Standard is 8 A. Upon request, 4 A, 6 A, 8 A, 10 A, 12 A, or 16 A are available at no extra charge.

Is the Series 100 suitable for 12 V and 24 V? Yes. The Series 100 switch panels are designed for 12 V and 24 V onboard electrical systems, without the need for modifications.

Can I label the circuits? Yes. Each switch panel comes with a sheet of self-adhesive labels (STKZ). Circuit labels are also available in different languages.

Is the Series 100 suitable for outdoor use? No. The Series 100 is designed for protected interior areas. For outdoor areas and splash water exposed locations, the waterproof Series 700 (IP 66) is the right choice.

Can the switch panel be connected to the P-Bus System? Yes. There are versions of the Series 100 with an integrated P-Bus System Monitor PSM2 (STV 100 PSM) for connection to the P-Bus energy management system.
