Reliable electrical engineering on the high seas Rittal Commercial
Reliable electrical engineering on the high seas Rittal Commercial vessels today are hugely complex engineering systems incorporating many technologies. Massive drives, steel hull construction, countless auxiliary units, and automation and control technologies are all required. Electrical energy is needed throughout the structure and needs to be reliably available. With its Ri4Power low-voltage switchgear, Rittal meets all relevant requirements for seagoing vessels. Electrification is playing an increasingly crucial role in ship design and construction even if it is unlikely that most vessels will be powered purely by electricity – apart from some special applications – for some time to come....
