AMP's Swedish low power DC supply

Atlantis Marine Power has been appointed the exclusive UK & Ireland distributor of the Swedish manufactured EmpirBus low power DC supply system.

Described as innovative and revolutionary, EmpirBus is a fully decentralised power supply and control system that AMP says will change marine electrical installations forever, with endless possibilities to add, control and monitor different functions onboard.

The EmpirBus system will enable boatbuilders to save on design and installation time as well as on materials - cabling can be reduced by 25-40% - functionality and ease of use are also key attributes and benefits of the EmpirBus software.

EmpirBus uses intelligent and compact i/o modules interconnected with each other via a single 1-pair bus cable. This cable reduces the need for control cables, which ensures that they are kept to a minimum.

The units are equipped with current sensors, which further reduce cabling, and materials as conventional fuses and circuit breakers are omitted. The bus is based on CAN, which is a widely accepted communication standard known for safe operation in harsh conditions.

AMP tell us EmpirBus AB is Swedish company that is part of the Empir Group, with Patric Westdahl as its CEO. EmpirBus AB was started in 2000 to specifically develop and market the EmpirBus system, which was designed by Henrik Niklasson the Technical Manager of EmpirBus AB, who hold many world patents on the system.
