Converters
C POWER FOR MARINE APPLICATION
The C-Power monoshaft or Coupled converters for marine applications provide a ‘clean source of power’ to ships in port and operate independently from the local network at both 50Hz and 60Hz supply. Our high quality supply meets all the various requirements and regulations to ensure sensitive on-board consumers are reliably supplied by the monoshaft converters.
C-Power MONOSHAFT Converter
The compact monoshaft converters design provides optimum quality, together with extremely high reliability. The converter uses just two roller bearings, which makes the system very simple making service and maintenance easy to achieve.
C-Power COUPLED Converter
Our coupled marine converter systems are recommended to provide maximum power at your preferred voltage, with optional vibration dampers available for resilient mountings.

Technical highlights
The C POWER is
characterised by robustness, longevity, optimised efficiency and, not least, by
a specially developed series of options necessary for marine applications and
catering for the requirements of our customers.
Low maintenance and extremely easy servicing and operation complete the profile
of a unit that has been successfully established on the market for decades. We
guarantee you optimum and reliable power for special applications.
Arduous marine conditions
Thanks to a tailored design, calculation, production and testing, C POWER
delivers the specified power reliably, without limitation, anytime.
Service life >25 years
– unrivalled reliability
With proven and robust engineering, the C POWER offers troublefree intensive
and unlimited use for more than 25 years.
Reliability: MTBF >50,000 hours
Increased capacity for thermal load
Increased efficiency
Thanks to the highly efficient engine and alternator, on-board electrical
consumers can be reliably supplied with electrical energy as economically as
possible in accordance with tailored requirements and specific regulations.
Maximum serviceability
The modular arrangement of the switchgear simplifies all service work.
Safe operation
Comprehensive protection and monitoring by microprocessor controller.
Simplified user operation
The touchpanel of the control station offers intuitive user navigation. Easy to
read even in strong sunlight, it is also dust- and water-tight and suitable for
use in the most adverse conditions. The resistive touchscreen is straightforward
to use even when gloves are worn. A fault recorder logs all events.
