No matter what type of marine electrical work you need, Wavetop Technology can meet your needs. With our expertise in this area it is possible for us to handle the most complex of vessel electrical problems and projects. Our focus on marine systems allows us to find the best solutions for your electrical needs while ensuring your electrical systems are safe and reliable. Additionally our use of state of the art test equipment helps speed the diagnostic process and assists us in finding answers to difficult problems. See a description of our test equipment.
• If you have questions about your electrical system, or want to learn more about a boat, our "Vessel electrical survey and inspection" can provide you the answers you need. Click here for details.
• Types of jobs we do - many are modest and range from upgrading an older boat with new batteries
and electrical system parts and components, to completely rewiring and replacing
all electrical system components on large yachts. Generally jobs start with trouble
shooting a system component to find what is causing a problem, or performing a
survey of a vessel's electrical system and then designing system modifications
to match an owners requirements.
• All or our work is done to equal or exceed the standards of the American Boat & Yacht Council (ABYC), National Marine Electronic Association (NMEA), National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) and the US Coast Guard. We are proud of the quality of our work and continue to strive to meet our clients expectations.
• Marine electrical projects we have done include vessels that have ranged from commercial vessels and military assault craft to large yachts and smaller recreational sail and power boats. The nature of the jobs on these vessels has included the following work and more:
- Survey, inspection, analysis and evaluation of vessel electrical (AC & DC) systems.
- Design of new, replacement and upgraded vessel wiring and cabling systems.
- Batteries, battery chargers, combiners and inverter system design and installation.
- Major and minor marine electrical system installation, upgrading and replacement.
- Vessel grounding and bonding system design and installation.
- Alternator and regulator repair and replacement.
- Transfer switch design and installation.
- Generator installation, repair and rebuilding.
- Galvanic isolator, installation and service.
- Isolation and boost transformer installation and service.
- Engine and other control system design and installation.
- Selection and installation of alarm and system monitoring equipment.
- Anchor windlass system installation and repair.
- Installation of electrical and electronic systems in new boats under construction.
- Fabrication and installation of custom electrical and instrumentation panels.
- Inspection and analysis of dockside power.
- Project and product research and specification development.
- Electrical system evaluation and recommendations.
• To provide answers to boat owner questions and concerns about boat electrical systems, we perform vessel electrical surveys and inspections to check a vessel for potential problems and to help the owner understand the interaction of the components that make up the vessel's electrical system. A boat's electrical system is both one of the most important systems on board and one of the least understood. The result is lots of confusion and a high potential for serious problems. We check the vessel electrical systems against the standards of ABYC, NMEA, NFPA and the US Coast Guard and then explain our findings to the boat owner. Our electrical surveys include:
- Inspection of both the DC and AC power systems for proper design, installation and safety.
- Inspection and testing of galvanic isolators or isolation transformers.
- Check dockside power system for proper voltage, voltage drop, impedance, frequency and ground protection.
- Inspection of the bonding system for proper design, installation, corrosion and safety.
- Providing recommendations related to system problems. We will give you a list that highlights items that need attention. .
