Nowadays, commercial ships, superyachts and industrial installations are all equipped with a growing number of more complex electronic devices that, even under the most extreme conditions, require a non-stop reliable power supply. As a result, increasingly higher demands are placed on the DC voltage stability, interference suppression and system integration with navigation and communication systems.
Roel ter Heide, director-owner of WhisperPower, explained the company has developed “a new range of safe and robust 24V WP-BC Supreme Pro chargers with the highest interference suppression Class B, standard UL conformity, and for the professional maritime sector, DNV, GL and ABS certification”.
He added: “The compact and silent Supreme Pro is equipped with the statutory alarms and a volt / ampere metre on the front and is the perfect main charger / power supply for a GMDSS system with backup battery.”
Three DC outputs
The Supreme Pro three-stage battery chargers feature three separate DC outputs for charging multiple battery banks and are suitable for any type of battery including lithium batteries.
The range consists of four 24 V chargers with a charging power of 40, 60, 80 or 100 Amps respectively, and universal auto-ranging input (90-265 VAC, 50-60 Hz). They are equipped with a digital LCD display on the housing, offering instant feedback on DC/AC voltage and DC charging currents.
