Manual EM-box 3
Energy Management Box
12V or 24V
The EM-box fulfils the task of an intelligent main current distributor, which distributes charging currents from various
charging sources to the connected battery banks with low loss. The engine (alternator and starter), the starter, the
service and the optional bow battery are connected to it.
Other charging sources such as battery charger, solar cells, wind generator, hydrogen generator, etc. are also
connected. The connected high-current and continuous current loads are protected on their positive lines by bolt fuses
type SHB.
The EM-box reduces the complex high current installation to a minimum and creates a clear and traceable installation.
No further elements are required in the basic installation, as the EM-box replaces all otherwise necessary individual
parts such as negative busbar, measuring shunts, main switch, deep discharge protection, charging current
distributor, fuse holder...
Cable cross sections and tubular cable lugs up to 70 mm2 / hole 8 mm can be connected to the connection bolts.

    0 Ah (factory setting). As the load currents of the bow battery are not recorded, no battery management is possible. Only the voltage of the bow battery is therefore displayed on the philippi system monitor. If a capacity display is also to be available for the bow battery, an additional battery management shunt SHC 612 must be installed directly on the bow battery.
