Description

The Vetus BPSPE is a series/parallel switch that allows 160 kgf and 220 kgf bow thrusters (24V DC only) to be powered from a 12V battery bank. By connecting two 12V batteries in series, the switch delivers the required 24V to the thruster. When charging, the batteries are automatically switched to parallel and connected to the 12V charging system — no manual intervention required.

Supplied with pre-assembled auxiliary relays for straightforward connection between the battery bank and the bow thruster. Meets EMC requirements.

Note: Thruster model BOW28548D is supplied as standard with a series/parallel switch for 24V battery bank connection. The 24–48V version can also be ordered separately as code BP3008.
