Sailing Yacht Hyperion

This 155.6 ft Sailing Yacht, named Hyperion, is recently re-equipped with Victron Energy. The installation that was present consisted of 15 Victron chargers, 22 inverters and several Filax units. Because of the new and improved technology of the Victron equipment, 15 Victron 24/3000VA 70A MultiPlus units replaced the whole system. The MultiPlus is a powerful true sine wave inverter, a battery charger and a high-speed AC transfer switch in a single compact enclose. With the new equipment installed there is more space available and less energy loss.

Safe rooms on ships

Safe rooms on ships are increasingly being installed to protect the crew and ship against piracy. When attacked, the crew can retreat into the safe room and call for help. The room is armored against direct physical attack, to allow the crew to remain safe for a few hours, until help arrives. The safe room is equipped with a metal cabinet, containing a Phoenix charger, 2 GEL batteries and a BMV Battery Monitor from Victron Energy, providing electricity to the emergency phone and emergency lighting in the safe room.

Sunseeker, United Kingdom: seamless power solutions by Victron

Sunseeker International, UK’s leading production motor yacht builder, uses MultiPlus units both as a power source and UPS on the 82-94ft yacht model range. For quiet running periods at anchor the inverter supplies power for entertainment and refrigeration. The UPS function ensures that there is no power loss to essential onboard systems when transferring power from the generator to shore side supply. And when mains power is available the unit provides optimized battery charging. Any overload of the mains or generator will thus be prevented by using the additional power from the batteries. The UPS functionality allows a seamless and automatic transfer of power from mains to inverter supply.
