Why it’s great for narrowboat electrical cupboards

The BEP 720 Heavy Duty Battery Switch is an ideal component for a narrowboat’s electrical cupboard due to its compact yet robust design. Narrowboats often have limited space, and this switch’s ability to be recess-mounted or surface-mounted provides valuable flexibility. The removable back cover protects terminals from accidental shorting in a confined space, a critical safety feature. Its ignition protection makes it safe for use near engines or fuel tanks, which is a common scenario on a narrowboat. The self-cleaning contacts ensure reliable performance, even in the humid marine environment.

Integration with the Törkmar busbar solution

The BEP 720 switch is designed to seamlessly integrate with a modular system like the Törkmar busbar solution. Its contour locking system allows it to connect directly with other BEP battery distribution products, which can be part of a larger Törkmar setup. This provides a clean, professional, and secure installation, eliminating the need for complex and messy wiring between the busbar and the master switch. By handling a 600A continuous rating, it provides a solid foundation for the entire electrical system, ensuring the Törkmar busbar can distribute power efficiently and safely to all connected circuits.
