Platform-A and B of our DC breakers. Safe, reliable, compact and robust solutions.
Platform A
Our ultra-fast series of water-cooled DC breakers for the maritime industry are available in three different sizes with a rated voltage of 1.5 kV and a rated current between 300 A and 3000 A. All variants are DNV, Lloyd’s Register and CCS certified.
Protection against short-circuit situations and power overload within μs
The primary and most important function of the Astrol solid-state DC breaker technology is its ultra-fast interruption of high powers, thereby preventing the dramatic consequences of short-circuit situations.
Compact mechanical design
The compact mechanical design supports the control concept of the DC breaker to work as a standalone solution. The isolating fiberglass housing allows easy integration in a cabinet, but also the installation without cabinet. With its modular build-up, the focus lies on standardized power modules, which combine to different voltage and current ratings with minimal mechanical changes. The power modules are accessible from the front and the backside. All components are UL94 certified and vibration tested according to IEC 60068-2-6.
Platform B
Following our range of 0.35 – 3 kA DC breakers we launched our newest innovation: our modular platform B range of DC breakers. Designed for high-demanding maritime DC applications, our modular Platform B range of DC breakers ensure reliability, flexibility and scalability for evolving power needs.
