We love proper brain teasers. Do you?

For an existing marine vessel, we are looking for a proper replacement of the switches in the DC propulsion circuit. These switches are used in the DC propulsion circuit to open or close the connection between the DC propulsion motor (which power in the MW range) and the batteries. The existing switches are becoming less reliable and subjected to maintenance as these involve oldfashioned mechanical switchgear. These switches also result in significant arcs, which require robust shielding to contain the arcs and ventilation to extract the smoke and gases. Also, the closing of these mechanical contacts can be rather loud, which is undesirable during stealth missions due to an increase of the acoustic signature.

From submarines and frigates to unique floating offshore energy applications: Nevesbu works as a naval architecture and marine engineering company on the most unique and technically challenging maritime projects worldwide. We operate within the markets: submarines, naval vessels, floating offshore energy and special vessels. Nevesbu has expert in-house knowledge of all these disciplines and provides consultancy and engineering services for all project phases, from the first feasibility studies to the complete design and engineering and site supervision. Examples of unique projects and innovations that Nevesbu has worked on are the upkeep of the Dutch Walrus-class submarines for the Ministry of Defence, Malaysian frigates’ lifespan extension, and an innovative concept for a floating transformer platform.
