SHORE POWER SOLUTION GIVES SAVVY BOATBUILDERS AN EDGE
Smart OEMs are constantly looking for products and features that
provide them with a competitive edge and encourage sales of boats. The shore
power solution from SmartPlug
Systems is available in 30A 125V or 50A 125/250V. These plug-and-play
components have a great cost-benefit ratio for both production and custom
boatbuilders, as well as for equipment manufacturers using electrical
connection components. This is a perfect standard or optional upgrade to any
vessel.
Especially for new boat buyers, shore power equipment can be
intimidating. The SmartPlug is a safer, simpler, and more secure solution than
traditional twist-type L5-30 AC connectors. Even experienced owners instantly
see the benefits of the unique system.
The SmartPlug has a pin and clip design that provides over 27
times more metal-to-metal contact to lessen electrical resistance and
overheating. This not only makes it safer than other designs, but it reduces
the chances of electrical system overload. Because the IP56-rated orange
ergonomic connector is asymmetrical and pushes straight in with self-locking
features, the device is more secure and easier to use. The top of the connector
is integrated with LED lights that alert the user if the pedestal is improperly
wired in a reverse polarity condition.
For OEMs with designated shore power locations, the SmartPlug
uses industry standard sizing and hole spacing for a pain-free conversion.
Internal electronics are fully encased in thermal epoxy to make them 100%
weatherproof. The inlet is available in 316 stainless steel or white, gray, or
black polymer that are heat and UV-resistant. Matching ELCI and phone/TV/data
port inlets are available. Tinned-wire Superflex cordsets are available in 25′ and 50′
lengths.
As the needs of the marine industry evolve, SmartPlug Systems
responds. The company works with manufacturers that require component-specific
startup power rather than relying on batteries or gensets. It has even recently
partnered with Eaton on new state-of-the-art marina pedestals.
SmartPlug
System products are made in the USA. Last year, the company expanded
its manufacturing space by 40% to maintain production capacity. It holds
Canadian CSA, Europe CE, Intertek ETL, and US ETL certifications.
