Motor driven marine systems live in harsh environments, pose unique safety challenges, and are often required to perform mission-critical operations under less-than-ideal circumstances. Benshaw’s rugged, reliable motor control solutions are well-suited to meeting these challenges.
Marine applications, commonly subject to limited electrical supply conditions and stringent compliance requirements, can benefit greatly from the use of Benshaw’s soft start technologies. In fact, the ability to start motor driven marine systems with reduced current minimizes stress on the electrical supply, and gentle acceleration reduces mechanical stresses during starting. Other features, such as PowerThrough and the motor thermal model allow safe use of full motor capacity while ensuring that critical processes can be completed with one SCR shorted.
Benshaw soft starter applications range from onboard HVAC and pumping systems to electrical (thrusters) and electromechanical (diesel-electric) propulsion.
