Peter tells you more about 

• Kongsberg Maritime integrates solid-state DC breakers in CSOV vessel range

  Astrol’s 1.5 kV, 3 kA solid-state DC breakers have been integrated into the multi-bus ring DC grid systems of next-generation Construction Service Operation Vessels (CSOVs), developed in partnership with Kongsberg Maritime. Designed for offshore wind farm operations, these DNV-classed vessels demand high reliability, redundancy, and safety—requirements met by Astrol’s ultra-fast protection technology. This collaboration sets a new standard for sustainable, future-proof maritime electrification.

  

• DC Grid Protection of Cadeler’s A-Class Wind Turbine Installation Vessels (WTIVs)

  The DC multi-bus ring system, engineered by Kongsberg Maritime and protected by Astrol’s 1.5 kV, 3 kA solid-state DC breakers. These advanced breakers offer ultra-fast, arc-free fault isolation, ensuring optimal safety, uptime, and resilience in demanding marine environments.

  

• Protecting the Zeetug’s DC grid against short-circuit and power overload

  Discover how system integrator 'BMA Technology' is protecting the ZEETUG's DC grid by using our solid-state DC breaker.

  

• A design with focus on zero emission

  To protect the onboard DC grid of passenger ferry Svelvik in the most reliable and efficient way, the Turkish system integrator Elkon used the 500 Ampere 1 kV Astrol solid-state DC breaker switch.

  

• Astrolkwx and Eekels

  Astrolkwx has been a partner and supplier of power electronics components for Eekels for numerous projects in the fields of marine and offshore.
