Marine

Marine applications often face unique challenges, including limited electrical supply and harsh operating environments. AuCom offers a full range of motor control solutions — from soft starters to variable frequency drives (VFDs) and motor protection devices — designed to optimise performance, protect equipment, and ensure reliable operation across a range of marine applications.

Soft starters provide distinct advantages in marine environments, including:

• Starting motor-driven systems with reduced current to minimise stress on the electrical supply, crucial in limited supply conditions
• Gentle acceleration to reduce mechanical stress during start-up, prolonging the life of critical equipment
• Features like PowerThrough and the motor thermal model to allow safe use of full motor capacity, ensuring critical processes can be completed even with one SCR shorted
