Main Electrical Switches

220V Main Fuse Panel

The Caravan Main Electrical Switch (Red Main Switch) controls the entire 12V DC electrical system of the caravan. The RV electrical system is controlled via two main switches for safe use and energy management. These switches allow the entire system or just the solar power line to be isolated.

This panel provides the caravan's external 220V AC electrical connection and protects the systems powered by this line. The panel features ground fault protection, automatic circuit breakers, and a load control module.

System Components

Residual Current Device (RCD – 30 mA) It detects electrical leaks, immediately shuts down the system, and ensures user safety. Automatic Circuit Breaker (MCB) It automatically shuts off the circuit in case of overcurrent or short circuit. Load Control Module (Load / Power Control) It monitors the power coming from the external grid and balances the load by synchronizing the energy provided by the inverter.

This switch controls the entire 12V DC electrical system of the caravan.

- When the switch is in the ON position , the caravan's entire 12V electrical system is active. - When the switch is turned OFF , all 12V consumers inside the caravan are disabled. When should it be closed? - If the caravan will not be used for a long time - If maintenance, repair, or electrical intervention is to be performed - If work is to be performed on the battery connections - When the switch is in the ON position, the solar panels charge the batteries via the MPPT charge controller. - When the switch is turned OFF , the solar panels are isolated from the system and charging stops. When should it be closed? - If maintenance or cable inspection is to be performed on the solar energy system - If the MPPT charge controller is to be removed or replaced - If work is to be carried out on the electrical installation

Working Principle

Solar Switch

Reset (Restart) This panel is designed to ensure the 220V electrical safety of the caravan. All maintenance and repairs to the electrical system must be performed by an authorized service center. - After connecting the external 220V cable, the fuse and RCD on the panel must be turned ON. - When the system is active, the status LEDs on the panel light up. - The system automatically shuts down when a leakage current or overload is detected. If any protection has been activated: 1. Turn off all 220V appliances. 2. Turn the RCD and fuse to the OFF position. 3. Please wait a moment. 4. First turn the RCD back ON, then turn the fuse back ON. If the system keeps rebooting, the external power source or connected devices should be checked.

This switch only controls the charging line from the solar panels.

Attention! - If a burning smell, excessive heat, or looseness is detected around the switch, the system should be shut down and an authorized service provider should be contacted. - Both switches should only be operated manually and should not be forced with pliers or similar tools.
