In time for SMM, the steute business division Controltec presents an extended range of switchgear products with DNV approvals.   These switching devices have been developed for applications often involving exposure to damp and wet (including saltwater). Their key features also include a wide temperature range (down to −60°C, depending on the series).   The DNV approval certifies that they are mechanically robust and able to withstand shocks, impacts and vibrations up to 4 g – a combination frequently, but not exclusively demanded by the maritime industry, e.g., in shipbuilding or on oil rigs. You’ll be able to see the switchgear at SMM Hamburg 3-6 September.    Read more about the steute range here…   https://lnkd.in/eUZXcnwD   #maritimeindustry #shipping #shipbuilding #marinesafety   DNV, steute Technologies GmbH & Co.
