The Power Behind World Class Marine and Off shore Applications

The increasing amount of new technology installed on board presents a whole new set of challenges to the electrical power supply of a vessel or a rig.

Today's sophisticated high technology equipment can fail to do its work or even get damaged if the input power has disturbances or breaks down completely.

That is why power systems that supply uninterruptible and clean power are essential on board. These systems are called Uninterruptible Power Systems or UPS systems.

The equipment that needs power protection can be roughly divided into:

• Safety and cruising related systems, such as navigation equipment and emergency lighting. Classification organisations normally require UPS protection for these systems.
• Commercial applications, such as casinos and EPOS devises at restaurants and shops. Customer satisfaction depends on the smooth operation of these systems.
• Business and management support, such as computer systems that enable continuous business management.
• Special systems on board special vessels. Exploring, drilling, lifting, and cable laying, for example, is accurate and sensitive work where mistakes cannot be tolerated.
