High-duty-cycle battery switch 600 A 48 V

The BEP 720B battery switch is designed to handle a continuous current of 600 amperes DC. It can also withstand intermittent currents of 800 amperes DC for 5 minutes and peak currents of 2500 amperes DC during starting for 10 seconds.

The BEP 720B battery switch can handle a maximum voltage of 48 V DC, making it compatible with 12 V, 24 V, and up to 48 V marine electrical systems.

Yes, absolutely. This battery switch is specifically designed for marine environments and demanding applications. It is molded from fiberglass-reinforced plastic, providing high resistance to temperature and chemical agents. Additionally, its compliance with IP66 ensures protection against dust and powerful water jets.

The BEP 720B battery switch housing is molded from fiberglass-reinforced plastic. This material provides the device with high resistance to temperature and chemical agents, ensuring durability in harsh conditions.

The compact dimensions of the BEP 720B battery switch are 102 x 102 x 90 mm (height). This allows flexible installation, whether recessed or surface-mounted.

Yes, safety is a central feature of this product. The BEP 720B battery switch is ignition-protected, making it safe for use in environments where fuel vapors may be present.

The IP66 rating means the BEP 720B battery switch is fully protected against dust ingress (first digit '6') and powerful water jets from any direction (second digit '6'). This makes it perfectly suited for engine compartments and areas exposed to moisture.

The BEP 720B battery disconnect switch terminals are sized 2 x 12 mm (1/2 inch). They are made of tinned copper, ensuring optimal electrical conductivity and excellent resistance to corrosion in marine environments.

No, the BEP 720B battery switch contacts are self-cleaning sliding copper contacts. This design contributes to the device's long-term reliability by reducing the need for regular contact maintenance.

The BEP 720B battery switch is a single-pole battery isolation switch. It is designed to disconnect power from a single pole (usually the positive) of the battery system.

The BEP 720B battery switch offers installation flexibility. It can be mounted flush or surface-mounted, depending on your installation requirements and available space.

Thanks to its 600A continuous capacity and robustness, the BEP 720B battery switch is ideal for large marine electrical systems or for starting large diesel engines.

Yes, the BEP 720B is designed for more demanding applications. It handles a continuous current of 600A, placing it above lower-amperage BEP switches, such as the 701 or 721 models, which handle continuous currents of 275A or 300A.

The BEP 720B battery switch is manufactured in New Zealand.

Yes, its robustness, IP66 protection, and ability to handle high currents make it perfectly suited for pleasure boats, particularly those with significant electrical systems or powerful engines.

The primary role of a battery isolator switch is to manually isolate one or more batteries from the rest of the boat's electrical system. This ensures safety in emergencies, prevents battery discharge during long periods of inactivity, and simplifies system maintenance.

Although designed for marine environments, its robustness, high current capacity, and IP66 protection also make it suitable for other demanding applications requiring a reliable battery isolation switch, such as recreational vehicles, utility vehicles, or off-grid solar systems.

Yes, the terminal blocks are made of tinned copper. Tinning is a process that significantly improves copper’s resistance to corrosion, which is essential in damp and salty marine environments.

Yes, its robust design, resistance to temperatures and chemicals, and IP66 protection against dust and powerful water jets make it perfectly suited for installation in engine compartments.

This battery switch is manufactured by BEP, known for its high-quality marine electrical equipment.
