Transformers for marine

Nowadays, electric propulsion with gas turbine or diesel engine-driven power generation is used in hundreds of ships of various types and a large variety of configurations. 

Azimuthing thrusters and podded thrust units, propulsion configurations for transit, maneuvering, and station keeping have merged in several types of vessels in order to utilize installed thrust units for optimal transit, maneuvering, and dynamic positioning.

Demanding installation requirements, including reduced noise and vibration levels, limited space, a special water-cooled cooling system, and a high degree of security to avoid human risks, are some of the main reasons to choose Hitachi Energy transformers.
