Flexibility
• Case accommodates three 550 watt charger modules
• Increase output power by adding modules
Reliability
Redundant, independent, charger modules increase reliability–a malfunction of one does not disable the charging system; remaining modules continue to operate.
Serviceability
• Module change-out takes only minutes, while the system continues to operate
• Technical personnel not required
• No need to remove the charger case from the boat or disconnect any wiring
• No inconvenience of power interruption to the boat
Features
• Three stage “smart” charging; bulk, absorption, float
• Battery type selector switch; gel-cell, lead-acid, AGM
• Temperature compensated output option
• Numerous diagnostic and system status indicators
• 12 Volt; 40-120 amps or 24 Volt; 22-67 amps
• “Universal” input of 90-264 VAC, 50-60 Hz.–can be used anywhere in the world
• Powder coated stainless steel case

The Phase Three Modular (PTM) Concept
Superyachts and commercial vessels have complex electrical systems that support equipment essential to safe operation. These boats are frequently in transit or in remote locations where repair/service is not readily available. Down-time can be very costly and severely impact sailing schedules.

Recognizing that all equipment has a finite service life and random component failure can occur at any time, system reliability can be improved by reducing the number of single points of failure, thus diminishing the impact of a solitary fault on the overall system. The PTM series applies this “fault-tolerant” concept to battery chargers, by using multiple independent charger modules within the unit.

The Phase Three Modular (PTM) Series is a battery charging system consisting of a wall mount case, which serves as a connection point for AC input and battery bank output that accommodate up to three charging modules which slide and lock into front access power bays. Its redundant charger modules increase reliability, as the system remains operational in the event of a charger module fault. The system is easily and quickly restored to full output by simple module replacement.

Captains and owners will appreciate this system approach to reliability. A dead charger and dead batteries can disable a vessel, but with the PTM redundant charging system a fault in one of the modules is easily identified and it can be quickly replaced with an on-hand spare or an exchange unit from the factory, while the charging system
continues to operate.
