ASEA
ASEA Power Systems is a world leader in the design and fabrication of power conversion equipment specially designed for the marine market. Their products range in power from 8 – 1000+ kVA and come in both air and liquid cooled variations. Product applications include shore power converters, line voltage regulators, isolation transformers, generator management modules, clean grid converters and custom engineered designs.
ASEA’s products are highly customizable – with 12 enclosure styles, 3 cooling systems, and over 50 controls, alarms, and communication options.
Technology
ASEA’s shore power converters use dual-conversion technology for precision and safety. The systems will accept any input service with a frequency between 40-70 Hz, and a voltage between 170-520 VAC. The output power has been programmed at the factory for the power form, voltage, and frequency required by the vessel.
How It Works
Power enters the system from the shore pedestal at local standard
The isolation transformer steps up/down voltage and isolates from the shore power
AC is rectified to DC power by a Power Factor Correction (PFC) power supply.
DC is converted to AC through Output Inverters at the voltage and frequency required by the vessel
AC Series - The original bulkhead mounted shore power converter, ranging 8-18kVA.
The AC Series offers bulkhead mounted systems utilizing dual-conversion technology with power output of 8-18kVA. Being systems designed from the ground up specifically for the yachting industry, all efforts have been made to produce a system capable of sustaining the marine environment. All components are packaged in one drip-proof, dust-resistant aluminum and stainless steel enclosure.
Q Series - ASEA’s smallest and lightest shore power converter with a stackable, modular configuration.
The Q Series is ASEA’s smallest and lightest shore power converter. The unit features a stackable, modular configuration ideal for refit installations and tight spaces. The 50kVA and higher units utilize our latest technology, which allows for reduced capacity operation should a single module be compromised. The system can also be ordered in a two-piece configuration (QTP). The Q series offers the widest range of power levels. Q models between 112kVA and 165kVA are considered “Mega Qs” and are popular on larger projects for their high power density.
Vertical Series - Vertical style shore power converter with convertible cooling ranging in 25-150kVA.
The Vertical Series V and VII converters feature a slim, narrow design and house the same reliable technology found in the Standard Series. The NV converters feature ASEA’s latest technology which allows for reduced capacity mode should one module become unavailable. The Vertical Series is the only product line with a convertible cooling system. These converters come standard with an air cooled system, but can be ordered with or field modified to be cooled with a heat exchanger to utilize the vessel’s chilled water system.
Standard Series - Floor mounted, customizable shore power converter ranging in 24-100kVA.
The Standard Series converters are customizable to fit virtually any space. Enclosure options include two piece, wall hugger, and foot locker variations. Made from stainless steel, the converter is durable, reliable, and less susceptible to electromagnetic interference. Every converter is equipped with an isolation transformer to protect against galvanic corrosion, polarization, and fault current electrocution.
Liquid Cooled Series - Internally oil-cooled shore power converter in 55-63kVA
The LC Series shore power converters are internally oil-cooled, where a customer-managed water cooling loop carries away heat energy from the cooling oil via a base-mounted heat exchanger. The main oil reservoir is sealed and splash-proof. The LC models utilize dual-conversion technology where the shore power service is isolated by the transformer and then converted to DC power by the DC power supply module.
