Germanischer Lloyd
certifies Bus Terminal
for shipbuilding
Beckhoff Bus Terminals have passed the Germanischer Lloyd type approval procedure for environment categories A, B, C and D. This means they can be used in shipbuilding and in the onshore and offshore sector. For many applications the Bus Terminals were tested beyond the specification; for example higher vibration stress up to 4 g or electromagnetic compatibility for application on the bridge or open deck.

For shipbuilding applications, the surge filter terminals KL9540 or KL9550 must be used. The KL9540 system terminal contains an overvoltage filter for the 24 V field supply, while the KL9550 is for the 24 V field and system supply. The filter protects the Bus Terminals from line-bound surge voltages that can occur due to high-energy disturbances such as switching overvoltages at inductive consumers or lightning strikes at the supply lines. The Bus Terminals KL9540 or KL9550 protect the Bus Terminal station from damage in particularly harsh environments.

A current list of the certified Bus Terminals and Bus Couplers can be found on the Beckhoff website. Technical approval of further variants and by other ship classification organizations is in progress.
