Thruster for marine applications

Thruster and transverse thruster motors

Thrusters are used on many types of ships. These positioning devices have become an indispensable part of large ships. Especially for special and work vessels (wind farms, oil and gas platforms), the output of these drives can be up to 5 megawatts. The machines can be operated via a frequency converter or directly on the mains (DOL) in operating mode S1 or S2.

Possible machine types

• Permanently excited synchronous motors
• Asynchronous motors

Specifications

• Low voltage or medium voltage
