The Philippi Switch Panel STV 238 is a DC power distributor with an integrated battery/tank monitor BTM2, combining 18 fused circuits and navigation light monitoring for large yachts with many consumers in the 12-/24-V electrical system.
- Reduces monitoring effort despite many circuits thanks to the monitor and navigation light control in one switch panel
- Displays battery status, charging current, and tank levels in real time, without a separate additional device in the switch cabinet
- Warns optically and acoustically if a navigation light fails – more safety during night cruises
- Can be integrated directly into an existing onboard network via NMEA 2000
The STV 238 secures 18 circuits via thermal rocker circuit breakers with a 10 A nominal current (optional 2/6/16/20 A). The integrated battery/tank monitor BTM2 displays battery voltage, state of charge, charge/discharge current, and tank levels in real-time on a 3.5" color touchscreen and can be integrated into the onboard network via NMEA 2000. A switch (0-1) allows targeted switching of consumer circuits.
If you want full P-Bus monitoring with access to further system data, the Philippi STV 258 (PSM3) is the suitable alternative. If you operate a metal vessel, you need the two-pole version STV 288-2p with PSL for corrosion protection reasons. The shunt SHE 348 for current measurement is not included in the scope of delivery and must be ordered separately.
