Power protection and efficiency on board marine vessels

Ensuring safe, reliable, efficient power on the high seas

The sea is a harsh environment. And while breakdowns, downtime and lack or loss of power can significantly impact your operational performance, they also have the potential to be serious safety issues. Part accessibility, maintenance and repair only magnify the problems and the potential costs and losses. And the increasing amount of new technology on board marine vessels presents a whole new set of challenges. Marine power systems that operate on safe, reliable technologies are essential.

Ships of all types and sizes rely on a robust electrical power system to get them to their final destination. To ensure reliable onboard power, many systems must work together to keep your vessel operating at peak performance. And with an increasing need to reduce fuel costs and emissions, you need technologies that help you meet environmental requirements. With our complete portfolio of marine power distribution and energy management solutions, we can help you reduce lifecycle management and operational costs, increase ease of maintenance and technology integration all while optimizing energy efficiency. 

Our low- and medium voltage switchgear and motor control centers distribute power safely and efficiently. And our Marine uninterruptible power supplies (UPSs) and circuit protection solutions are specially engineered to protect critical onboard functions and processes, such as navigation, communication, bridge equipment, lighting and automation, and provides auxiliary power for engines and safety systems. And with global support and serviceability, our experts are well equipped to help you solve your toughest challenges.
