Philippi Circuit Breaker Panels STV Series 100 – Reliable DC Switch Panels for Boats, Yachts & RVs

The Philippi STV Series 100 circuit breaker panels are compact DC switch panels for installation in protected indoor 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. Switching and protection are thus combined on the panel – without separate fuses.

Briefly explained: The Philippi STV Series 100 combines a switch and a thermal circuit breaker 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 troubleshooting, the circuit is immediately ready for operation again at the push of a 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 circuits in 12V and 24V electrical systems. It is designed for installation in protected indoor 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 breaker panels are equipped with E-T-A 1140 series thermal circuit breakers. The 8 A type is 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 reactivated 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 fault clearance.

Frequently Asked Questions about the Philippi STV Series 100

What happens in the event of a short circuit with 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 necessary.

What current ratings are the circuit breakers available in? 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 electrical systems without needing modifications.

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

Is the Series 100 suitable for outdoor use? No. The Series 100 is designed for protected indoor areas. For outdoor use and splash-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 Series 100 versions with integrated P-Bus System Monitor PSM2 (STV 100 PSM) for connection to the P-Bus energy management system.
