Törkmar's Integrated Electrical System for Narrowboats: Power, Simplified
Törkmar’s pre-configured and fully integrated power solution, complete with specially printed mounting panels, is designed for both professional builders and DIY enthusiasts. Achieve a seamless, reliable, and efficient electrical installation with our expertly specified components and innovative, easy-to-follow layout. That’s all the hard stuff, you get to configure the AC and DC distribution as you normally would
Simplify Your Build with Törkmar’s Pre-Marked Panels
At Törkmar, we understand that integration is key to a reliable narrowboat electrical system. If one component isn’t working in harmony with the rest, the entire system’s performance suffers. That’s why we’ve moved beyond just supplying individual parts. We’ve engineered a comprehensive solution designed to work as a unified whole.
Our unique offering is a specially printed panel that forms the backbone of your electrical cabinet. This innovative panel takes the guesswork out of the installation process. It comes clearly marked with:
- Component Locations: Exact placement for each major component, ensuring optimal spacing and a clean layout.
- Pre-drilled Hole Markings: No more measuring and marking. Simply drill where indicated for a perfect fit every time.
- Cable Routing and Saddle Points: Follow the designated paths for your cables and secure them with saddles in the marked locations for a tidy, safe, and professional finish.
This “paint-by-numbers” approach to electrical installation significantly reduces the time and potential for errors, making a professional-grade setup achievable for everyone.
Connect to boat monitor
- Törkmar has developed proprietary software to enable motor feedback from the motors controller to a Victron GX device
- Connect to controller interface: use ethernet cable provided to connect controller to boats Victron GX device
- Connect for maintenance : run other ethernet cable provided from controller interface to a convenient end point for future updates
Törkmar's Integrated Electrical System for Narrowboats: Power, Simplified
Our unique offering is a specially printed panel that forms the backbone of your electrical cabinet. This innovative panel takes the guesswork out of the installation process. It comes clearly marked with:
- Victron Quattro: The heart of your power system. This powerful and intelligent device is a combined inverter and charger. It seamlessly switches between shore power and your battery bank, providing a continuous supply of AC power to your onboard appliances. Its PowerAssist feature prevents shore power overload by supplementing with battery power when needed.
- Victron Ekrano: Your complete system command center. With its intuitive touchscreen interface, the Ekrano provides a comprehensive overview of your entire electrical system. Monitor battery state of charge, solar yield, power consumption, and much more. Its advanced connectivity options allow for remote monitoring and system adjustments from anywhere.
- Victron MPPT Solar Charge Controller: Maximize every ray of sunshine. The Ultra-fast Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) technology in this controller optimizes the energy harvest from your solar panels, ensuring your batteries are charged efficiently, even in changing light conditions.
- Victron Orion DC-DC Dropper/Charger: This smart charger ensures your domestic battery bank is perfectly charged from your engine’s alternator while you cruise. It provides a stable, multi-stage charging profile, protecting your batteries and extending their life.
- Victron Isolation Transformer: An essential safety component for any narrowboat with a shore power connection. The isolation transformer eliminates the risk of galvanic corrosion caused by shore power earth connections, protecting your hull and underwater metal fittings from costly damage. It also ensures a safe and stable AC supply onboard.
System Protection and Safety: The Unseen Essentials
A powerful electrical system requires robust protection. We have specified a complete set of BEP Marine and other high-quality components to ensure the safety and longevity of your installation.
- BEP Pro Installer and 600A Isolators: These heavy-duty battery switches provide a quick and reliable way to isolate your battery banks for maintenance or in an emergency. Their rugged construction is designed for the harsh marine environment.
- Törkmar Positive Busbar & BEP Busbars (Positive and Negative): High-capacity busbars provide a consolidated and organized point for your high-current connections. This reduces cable clutter and ensures efficient power distribution.
- BEP ANL and T-Class Fuse Holders & Fuses: Critical for protecting your system from overcurrents. The fast-acting T-Class fuse is essential for safeguarding your Victron Quattro, while ANL fuses provide robust protection for other high-amperage circuits.
- BEP Pro Installer Link Bars: These innovative link bars allow for the neat and efficient coupling of BEP components, creating a compact and professional-looking installation while ensuring solid, low-resistance connections.
- Breaker Enclosure, Solar Breakers, and RCBOs: All circuits are individually protected for safety and ease of fault-finding. Our specified enclosures keep breakers tidy and protected. Solar breakers isolate your solar array, and the dual-function RCBOs (Residual Current Breaker with Overload protection) provide the highest level of safety for your 230V AC circuits, protecting against both overloads and earth faults.
