0.35 – 3 kA 1.5 kV DC breakers
We are pleased to announce that our range of 1.5 kV solid-state DC breakers, spanning from 0.35 kA to 3 kA, has received the marine product type approval from Lloyd’s Register (LR). This endorsement adds to our previously secured product type approvals from the China Classification Society (CCS) and Det Norske Veritas (DNV), reinforcing our commitment to enabling high-performance, safety-certified marine electrical power systems.
A Milestone in Marine Electrification
Securing product type approval from Lloyd’s Register, one of the world’s most recognized and respected classification societies, marks a significant milestone in our journey. Our solid-state DC breakers, already validated for the Chinese and Nordic markets, are now globally recognized for their robustness and reliability in marine environments. This certification allows shipbuilders, system integrators, and system designers to confidently incorporate our products into their DC power systems, ensuring compliance with the highest international standards.

The Advantages of Type Approval for Marine Power Systems
Product type approval is a critical step in the marine industry, particularly as electrical systems transition towards greener, more efficient technologies such as DC power distribution. Here’s why product type approvals, like those from Lloyd’s Register, CCS, and DNV, matter:
Streamlined System Approvals
With our 1.5 kV solid-state DC breakers already approved, system integrators ship designers and manufacturers can significantly reduce the time required to secure approval for complete DC power systems. By integrating certified components, the approval process becomes more straightforward, leading to faster project timelines and reduced costs.
Global Market Access
With certifications from LR, CCS, and DNV, our products are pre-approved for use in a wide variety of markets worldwide. This not only enhances confidence among global stakeholders but also simplifies compliance with international regulations.
Enhanced Reliability & Safety
Type approval from Lloyd’s Register signifies that our solid-state DC breakers have undergone rigorous testing to meet stringent safety, performance, and environmental standards. This ensures that our breakers can operate safely in demanding marine environments, safeguarding ships and their crew against electrical faults.
Support for DC Electrification
As the marine industry increasingly adopts DC power systems for enhanced efficiency, our marine type approved solid-state DC breakers offer marine system integrators a trusted, high-performance solution to protect DC grids and power systems. Our breakers are designed for optimal performance in modern DC grids, including hybrid and fully electric vessels.
Looking Ahead
Our 0.35 kA to 3 kA range of 1.5 kV solid-state DC breakers provides a vital building block for modern marine DC power systems. With Lloyd’s Register, CCS, and DNV certifications in place, we are positioned to support shipbuilders, operators, and system integrators with the highest quality components, helping them meet the demands of the maritime industry’s future.
