Propulsion, Transmission and Engine Room Equipment

 Advanced Induction Motor
Converteam's advanced induction motors, built to the exacting requirements for naval propulsion, are smaller and lighter than the traditionally used synchronous motors, making them particularly suitable for naval vessels where space is at a premium.
Naval Vessel using Converteam Propulsion System
Converteam is supplying significant elements of the electrical power and propulsion system for the Royal Navy's new class of Type 45 Destroyers.
Converteam's PWM Converters
Converteam's PWM converters are a significant part of Converteam's power and propulsion systems enabling better system efficiency.
Aircraft Carrier Using Integrated Full Electric Propulsion System
As the power and propulsion system authority, Converteam advocates the installation of an integrated full electric propulsion system for the UK Royal Navy's new aircraft carrier programme.
