MasterBus and CZone come together

Since the integration of Mastervolt into the Marine division of Actuant Electrical the engineers at Mastervolt headquarters inAmsterdamand the BEP engineering team inNew Zealandhave been busy working together to provide a seamless connection between the two companies networked technologies into one system.

Both companies have extensive CAN based networked systems made up of Digital Switching, Systems Monitoring and Power Conversion devices. "Bringing the CZone and MasterBus systems together has been a relatively easy task", says Jarrod Sagar, Global Product manager for Digital Switching at BEP, "as both companies had the same original philosophy for these systems, which was to bring all the points of control and monitoring of the on board systems onto one intuitive display, a central point and seamless automation simplifies boat use for the user."

The engineering teams have developed ‘CZoneMasterBusBridge’ as the link between the MasterBus and CZone systems. The Bridge is a simple plug-in unit that reads both protocols and allows units from each manufacturer, and others such as Simrad that use BEP’s NMEA2000, to become fully compatible. This means that components such as pumps, alarms, battery chargers and monitors can be controlled from a single touch screen.

"The popular MasterShunt battery monitor and ChargeMaster battery charger can now be connected to a BEP marine network, which is based on NMEA2000," explained Marc Persoon, Mastervolt’s marketing manager. "As a result, the monitoring and control of the battery charger can now be done via the CZone display or other compatible display such as the multi-function marine navigation screens from Simrad and B&G. TheCZoneMasterBusBridgehas been developed to connect two great systems together, and bring you the best of both worlds."

As with all Mastervolt products, the Bridge is made from robust, corrosion resistant materials. The compact unit has strategically-placed screw holes allowing it to be attached to any convenient surface. Two simple 5-pin universal sockets facilitate the quick and simple connection of the two network cables, and an LED indicator shows the network status.

"By connecting the Bridge into an existing system, it will allow a boat owner to expand a boat’s systems without having to stick with just one manufacturer," Persoon stated. "This is just one example of the benefits of becoming part of an organization such as Actuant, where the pooling of expertise reaps huge benefits for the customer. Furthermore, the Bridge gives our OEMS a complete simple package: a networked system made up of the worlds best power conversion and digital switching products."

"The inclusion of the Mastervolt product range and the integration highlights the BEP marine division strategy to be become a leading global supplier of integrated electrical system solutions and electrical components," says BEP’s Jarrod Sagar.

TheCZoneMasterBusBridgewill be on display at IBEX and METS, and is due for release in the first quarter of 2012. The bridge will include all the necessary connector cables and have a 2-year warranty.

Complete portfolio of stylish shore connections

Mastervolt developed a complete range of shore connection cables and all required accessories. The new range is based on the popular CE connector, which is a so-called pin and sleeve connection. This new range is an extension of the existing Mastervolt twist and lock range.

The new range of shore connections comes in power ratings of 16A and 32A and different lengths of cables. In addition converter cables are available as well as extension cables and Y-splitters. All connections cables have moulded waterproof connection designed to survive the harsh marine environment. No salt water will corrode the connection and cause unreliable shore connections. A power indication LED will give you instant feedback on the availability of shore power.

The yacht mounted inlets are manufactured from high grade stainless steel (316) and polished. The quick lock mechanism allows opening even by cold hands after a winter trip. The inlet can be easily mounted by one person, which helps to speed up installation for the aftermarket and for OEM boatyards.

The specially designed power cable is ribbed to prevent it from rolling around on the deck or pontoon. This further enhances the safety features of the shore power connections as it reduces the risk of a person falling over if the cable is stood on as it does not roll around whilst laying on the deck,. Furthermore, the design makes it easier to butterfly the cable after use, and the ribs mean that cable stays cleaner due to the smaller direct contact area.

"The shore power cable is critical to a comfortable experience on board when in a harbour with AC power available," said Marc Persoon, Mastervolt’s Marketing Manager. "As with every other product we have listened carefully to our customers and based on that feedback we started a new development. We made improvements in many areas from installation, ease of use to durability. On top of all that we made this a real Mastervolt product by look and feel."

Available in 16A and 32A versions, prices for Shore Power Connections start at: €119 ex vat for 16A cables, and €229 ex vat for 32A cables.

Two new 'Powerbook' guides.

Mastervolt, the market leader in marine electrical power systems that provide ‘the power to be independent’, has published two new ‘Powerbooks’ to help its customers select the right equipment and design complete electrical power management systems for their boats. The Powerbooks are comprehensive resources for boat owners, acting as ‘how to’ manuals for designing systems and detailed catalogues of all Mastervolt products. They are currently available in English and Dutch, with several other language versions, such as French and German, already in preparation.

In addition to the printed Powerbooks, which can be obtained by post or by collection from Mastervolt stands at boating exhibitions, online versions can be read swiftly from Mastervolt’s website www.mastervolt.com/powerbook.

The 152 page Marine Systems Powerbook provides a comprehensive, step by step guide to designing and specifying a complete electrical power management system for motorboats, sailing craft and catamarans. Within each of those categories, the information is broken down into what is required when undertaking mainly day trips, weekends away or while cruising to faraway destinations.

Each section begins with an analysis of typical ‘boaters’ requirements on an average boat being used for each purpose, and providing an easy guide to calculating total power consumption. The Powerbook then uses diagrams, photographs and clear text to guide the reader through a ‘best system’ to take care of these power requirements, including choice of batteries, chargers/inverters, monitoring power consumption and linking it all together with a Mastervolt MasterBus. Each section is completed with a guide to incorporating an electric motor to power the vessel, which is an area of high growth and interest amongst today’s boat owners and one in which Mastervolt again leads the way.

With the best system for each type of boat and main use now defined, the second fully illustrated 100 page powerbook, the Marine Products Powerbook, can be referred to for full details of each individual item. Clear descriptions, diagrams and explanations precede complete details and side by side comparison tables. Everything is there, whether it’s all the various battery types, sine wave inverters, alternators and charge regulators, digital distribution, AC transfer systems or battery isolators – and a good deal more besides.

Together, the two Mastervolt Powerbooks will guide boat owners through all the many available choices, which may then be discussed with or simply presented to their Mastervolt dealer, who will be able to fulfil the order with the minimum of fuss. The owner will further benefit by gaining a good understanding and knowledge of his boat’s complete power system.

Mastervolt upgrades its Mass Charger range.

Mastervolt upgrades its Mass Charger range for even better endurance in tough environments.

Leading Dutch electrical specialist Mastervolt has just completed a system-wide upgrade on its top-end battery chargers, the Mass Charger range.

These rugged chargers have already proved themselves to be completely reliable in some of the harshest conditions afloat, yet Mastervolt has made them tougher still with an even greater resistance to heat, vibration, humidity, and condensation. It has also added a number of technological improvements, including MasterBus connectivity.

Mastervolt’s Mass Chargers are part of the ‘best in class’ range. Available in 12, 24 and 48-Volt models, they are also in demand on commercial ships, explorer vessels and offshore oil installations, where they ensure that full battery power is available 24/7, which is crucial in an emergency.

What sets these chargers apart is the over-engineering of the components and the use of high-frequency electronics, which leaves them under-stressed and operating at much lower internal temperatures. The chassis is made from anodised aluminium to prevent corrosion, and Mastervolt has thoughtfully kept the footprint exactly the same as earlier models, so a straight swap during a refit or overhaul can be done with minimal down time.

A special cooling process means the Mass Charger range can operate at full power, continuously, in an engine room with the temperature at a blistering 45 ^oC, and the vibration rating is to the demanding IEC60945 standard. Reliability is in excess of 280,000 hours without failure (MTBF), and the Mass Charger emits only ultra-low electromagnetic radiation, so nearby systems will be unaffected. It also has electromagnetic immunity from transformers or pumps that may share the bulkhead.

Because of the commercial and superyacht applications, the approvals on all 230V single phase 24/75 and 24/100 Mass Chargers are to DNV, Germanische Lloyd, Bureau Veritas, and Lloyds standards. This allows older chargers to be swapped for the upgrades whilst still preserving the approvals.

Rugged reliability apart, the Mass Charger also excels at its job – providing clean, DC output from what could be intermittent and unreliable shore power. In fact, the output is so clean the charger can be used as a dedicated power supply in it’s own right, with a unique power take-off.

The input range of voltages can be harnessed between 190-265V, and the heavy-duty design allows for full current delivery even though vessels cable losses require the charger to charge at a voltage of 30V. After 20 years of research and development, the 3-phase step charger technology has proved itself to be the quickest and most efficient way to keep healthy batteries at peak condition. The process is also ideal for revitalising completely flat batteries to minimise the ill effects of total discharge.

If there is an interruption in the shore-power during the process, the Mass Charger picks up where it left off, rather than starting the 3-phase cycle all over again. There is even a setting for the delicate charging of Nickel Cadmium batteries.

Amongst the upgrades is the addition of full MasterBus connectivity, allowing the charger to communicate with the rest of a Mastervolt system by means of a single ‘plug and play’ CAN-bus cable. This provides total monitoring and automatic control of the distribution system when power is being generated from several different sources.

"We’ve made the best even better," explained Marc Persoon, Mastervolt’s Marketing Manager. "The Mass Charger range is the ultimate in reliability. We have maintained the dimensions and connections of the earlier models, but managed to actually improve the design from the experience of 10 years of heavy use, from the Polar Regions to the Tropics."

The Mass Charger range features 11 models in total, with two 12-volt, seven 24-volt and two 48-volt versions.

Prices start from £716.00 excluding VAT.

Far-off destinations

Your ship:	60 ft sailing yacht
Use:	Extended trips and maybe even a circumnavigation
Details:	All luxury onboard facilities

Your sailing profile

You make long sailing trips and have plans for a trip around the world. All extended voyages require careful preparation and route planning, plus the right equipment onboard. Your electric system needs a great deal of attention, not least because you will be using many consumers throughout the vessel and have specific power facilities such as the navigation system to cater for.

Issues of redundancy are also a vital consideration should a calamity occur. By intelligently separating consumers, for example forward, amidships and aft, you ensure maximum continuity and know that any possible disruption need not totally shut everything down at the same time.
