High expectations from low voltage

As the UK’s largest Victron distributor, Energy Solutions has access to a large range of extra low voltage products operating at 48 VDC. These include inverter chargers, solar charge controllers and dc-dc converters; all of which are key components of these systems. Associated control systems also operate at this voltage. Additionally, Energy Solutions offers a range of 48 VDC lithium battery banks.

“A good example of one of our systems incorporating Victron 48v components is this new Molabo electric drive. This system provides an excellent alternative to a conventional drive system, utilising the great range from Victron and MG Energy to fulfil all the onboard power needs,” said Energy Solutions.

Battery bank power

The battery bank provides power to the electric drive which in turn powers the vessel, the battery bank is recharged when underway by the efficient onboard generator or, when in the marina, by shore power. The 48VDC battery bank is also used to power the onboard AC power requirements through the Victron Quattro inverter/charger as well as providing low voltage DC (12v or 24v) through DC/DC converters.

The Victron Cerbo delivers the ability to control and monitor the system via the Victron VRM system on your phone or the onboard screen.

As well as Victron’s smart lithium batteries, Energy Solutions offers MG Energy batteries which are a popular option in many marine systems.

Energy Systems will be exhibiting at Seawork 2021 on stand PG128.
