Invertek Drives Meets DNV Marine Standards: What does it means and why it matters-0

The world of industrial automation and energy efficiency is constantly evolving, and certification has become a crucial factor in ensuring product quality, safety, and reliability. DNV (Det Norske Veritas) certification is a globally recognized standard of quality and safety, validating a company’s ability to deliver solutions that meet the most demanding industry requirements. In this article, we’ll explore what Invertek Drives’ DNV certification entails, how it impacts business operations, and why it is essential in the maritime and other industries.

Invertek Drives: Setting the Highest Testing Standards

Invertek Drives is an internationally acclaimed manufacturer of variable frequency drives (VFDs), known for its innovative approach and high-quality standards. Achieving DNV certification requires products to undergo rigorous testing that exceeds industry norms. These tests ensure safety and reliability even in the most challenging conditions.

Vibration Testing

Invertek Drives utilizes a specially designed vibration testing rig to simulate various operational environments common in maritime and industrial settings. This ensures that VFD devices can perform reliably in high-vibration environments, such as on ships or offshore platforms.

Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Testing

EMC tests assess devices’ ability to operate amidst electromagnetic interference and control emission levels. This is particularly critical for ship systems, where electromagnetic disturbances can affect navigation and other vital processes.

Durability Testing in Extreme Conditions

Products are tested under high temperatures, humidity, and other challenging conditions typical of maritime environments. This guarantees that Invertek Drives’ products are prepared for any operational scenario.

Why Is DNV Certification Important for the Maritime Industry?

DNV certification is especially significant in the maritime sector, where safety and reliability are paramount. Invertek Drives’ DNV certification offers the following advantages:

Enhanced Safety Standards

Certification helps mitigate operational risks on ships by ensuring devices are safe and reliable. This reduces potential damages and technical failures.

Compliance with Industry Regulations

The maritime industry imposes strict regulatory requirements on equipment specifications. DNV certification ensures that products meet all industry standards.

Global Market Credibility

Companies with DNV-certified products are perceived as more reliable and competitive in the international market. Invertek Drives’ solutions, such as Optidrive Eco and Optidrive P2, are prime examples of such certified products.

In the maritime sector, insufficiently certified devices can lead to severe issues. Common problems and how DNV certification addresses them include:

  • Structural Damage: Certification ensures devices do not cause damage to ship structures.
  • Mechanical System Failures: Invertek Drives’ DNV-certified products reduce the likelihood of such failures.
  • Navigation Disruptions: Electromagnetic compatibility tests ensure devices do not interfere with ship navigation systems.

DNV certification enables companies to enhance safety and compliance with international standards, thereby boosting competitiveness.

 

Invertek Drives’ DNV certification is not only a testament to the highest quality standards but also proof of the company’s commitment to delivering reliable solutions. It is a strategic advantage that helps Invertek Drives solidify its market position while offering customers top-tier, energy-efficient products.
