Projecta’s new Intelli-Grid GEN III delivers a smarter, more capable 12-volt power management platform designed for modern caravans, motorhomes and canopy campers. Combining integrated DC-DC charging, solar capability, inverter compatibility and intuitive touchscreen control, GEN III provides a scalable all-in-one solution for travellers seeking reliable power when touring beyond the grid.
Projecta Intelli-Grid GEN III – Smarter Power for Serious Remote Touring
Projecta Intelli-Grid GEN III integrates charging, monitoring and power distribution into one compact system designed for reliable off-grid touring.
Reliable 12-volt power is at the heart of modern touring. Whether travelling solo, heading off-grid for extended periods, or simply wanting confidence that essential systems will operate without fuss, a well-designed power management system is critical.
Projecta’s latest Intelli-Grid GEN III system has been developed with this reality in mind, delivering a highly integrated 12-volt platform designed specifically for caravans, motorhomes, canopy campers and remote touring vehicles.
GEN III builds on the strong reputation of the earlier GEN II system, introducing greater charging flexibility, improved expandability and simplified installation, making it an appealing option for both RV manufacturers and travellers seeking dependable off-grid capability.
One integrated system instead of multiple components
One of the key strengths of the Intelli-Grid GEN III system is its ability to consolidate multiple power management functions into a single platform. Charging, power distribution and monitoring are combined within one integrated unit, reducing the need for separate components and simplifying system design.
This approach helps reduce wiring complexity, saves valuable installation space and improves long-term reliability, particularly important in touring environments where vibration, dust and temperature variation can affect electrical equipment over time.
GEN III also incorporates in-built DC-DC charging capability, allowing batteries to be charged efficiently from the vehicle alternator while travelling. Additional DC-DC or solar charging capacity can be added as requirements increase, giving owners the flexibility to expand their system as their touring style evolves.
For travellers running higher electrical loads such as induction cooktops, coffee machines or air conditioning via inverter power, GEN III also supports integration with inverter/charger systems, providing further versatility compared with the previous generation.
Flexible charging capability for modern touring setups
At the core of the GEN III system are the PM535 and PM635 power management transformers.
The PM535 combines a 30A AC charger, 30A MPPT solar controller and 30A DC-DC charger, allowing batteries to be charged from mains power, solar panels or the vehicle alternator.
For larger electrical systems, the PM635 increases charging performance with a 45A DC-DC charger, 45A MPPT solar charger and a powerful 60A AC charger, providing faster recharge capability and improved performance for higher capacity battery banks.
Both systems automatically prioritise available charging sources, ensuring efficient battery management without requiring manual adjustment.
Compatibility with lithium (LiFePO4) and lead-acid battery types allows the system to be matched to a wide range of touring requirements. Projecta’s high discharge lithium batteries are also designed to integrate seamlessly, incorporating internal shunt technology for accurate real-time battery monitoring without the need for external shunt installation.
Real-time monitoring allows travellers to track battery levels, charging performance and power usage from a single display.
Expandable design supports evolving touring needs
A key advantage of the Intelli-Grid ecosystem is expandability. Users can begin with a basic configuration and add capability over time, including additional solar charging, DC-DC charging modules or inverter capacity.
The system can also monitor auxiliary functions such as water tank levels and tyre pressures through compatible modules, allowing travellers to view important system information from a single display interface.
Monitoring is available via touchscreen displays in 3”, 4”, 7” and 10” formats, providing flexibility when designing control panel layouts. System performance can also be monitored remotely via the Projecta Intelli-Grid smartphone app.
Installation advantages for caravan and camper manufacturers
From an OEM perspective, GEN III simplifies electrical installation through the use of WAGO lever lock output terminals, reducing wiring time and improving connection reliability.
The integrated design combines AC charging, DC-DC charging, solar regulation and load control into one compact unit, assisting manufacturers to optimise available installation space while maintaining a clean and professional finish through concealed cabling.
Control of up to 15 load outputs is possible, with additional modules allowing expanded functionality where required.
Designed for real-world touring conditions
Weight, space efficiency and reliability remain important considerations in caravan and camper design, particularly for travellers exploring remote regions of Australia.
GEN III’s slimline footprint assists in maintaining storage space while providing the electrical capacity needed to support extended off-grid stays.
For travellers investing in solar capability, lithium battery storage and inverter power, an integrated power management system such as Intelli-Grid GEN III can help ensure systems operate efficiently and consistently.
Kit options and availability
The Intelli-Grid GEN III system is available in four core kit configurations, based around either the PM535 or PM635 power management transformer paired with a 7” or 10” smart display.
Each kit includes the required display cabling, 240V AC plug, battery cables and temperature sensor wiring, allowing straightforward installation.
All kits are supported by a 5-year warranty.
For further technical specifications or compatibility advice, travellers should consult their installer or Projecta representative.
