Marine Electrical Panels & Distribution Components
Electrical panels, often referred to as distribution boards, are fundamental to organizing and safely managing power flows across circuits on board vessels. In marine environments, they must be rugged, moisture-resistant, and engineered for both reliability and safety. At PSI, we offer high-quality electrical panels and accessory components tailored to the needs of commercial, industrial, and recreational marine operations.
A Brief History of Marine Electrical Panels
The evolution of electrical panels in marine environments dates back to the early 20th century when simple fuse boxes were used aboard naval and cargo vessels. As technology advanced through the 1950s and 1960s, the need for greater safety and organization led to the introduction of modular circuit breaker panels. By the 1980s, companies like NewMar began engineering marine-specific panels with corrosion resistance, vibration tolerance, and simplified diagnostics. Today, innovations such as digital metering, smart monitoring, and hybrid AC/DC integration define the cutting edge of marine distribution technology.
Electrical Panel Functions
These panels divide incoming electrical power into branch circuits and include circuit breakers or fuses to protect each line. By managing power loads, panels safeguard against overloads and short circuits, keeping systems and personnel safe. In marine environments, they are also designed to resist corrosion, withstand vibration, and provide secure terminal access.
